A good read, but it isn't strong enough. I have communicated with way too many youngetser graduating from high school whose concepts of the Constitution stop at "It's some government thing". The vast majority have received no education on ANY of the Amendments or the true structure of our government and how it functions.

There is dumbing down and there is CRIMINAL dumbing down. IMO, what the NEA has done meets the criteria for the latter. The liberal/leftist agenda MUST be eradicated from the school system and the kids need to be introduced to a politically-neutral presentation of the Constitution and all of its Amendments and allow the kids to decide which party they want to follow.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

That isn't going to happen. The leftist/Marxist teachers and lobbying groups are far too entrenched and the children need immediate relief.

The solution is to begin the process of privatizing universal K-12 education. Government schools must eventually be eliminated.
