I could care less about the percentage of History degrees granted each year.

I want to see high school students with a firm understanding of both US history and World history. And not the PC versions of them, i.e. “Great African-American Heroes in Scandinavian History”, or “Women Navigators who enabled Cook, Magellan, Columbus and Vasco De Gama to make their Discoveries” or “Closet Trannies among the Signers of the Declaration of Independence”.

I dispair watching those YouTube campus interviews wherein college students do not know who fought in the Civil War, or who the Colonies rebelled against, or what century was WWII fought in.

What is the significance of the Magna Carta?
The US is a Republic; what does that mean?
Explain each of the Rights enumerated in the Bill of Rights.
From where do these Rights come?

ARRRRRRGH!
