| You Failed 8th Grade US History |

Took it this afternoon on the earlier thread. Scored 57.
Can I google the answers first so I get 100%?

7 of 8. Should have got ‘em all.
I scored 85%.
I only got 52 out of 60 right, although I disagree with some of the “right” answers I missed.
Predominant socialists do not favor the knowledge of U.S. history in the minds of our young people since they fully intend to destroy America as a Constitutional Republic. They generally refuse to teach the REASONS why America happened in the first place, and cannot bear to show that Americans stood up and REBELLED against a repressive, oppressive government.
The very idea of individual freedom, freedom from government domination -— is just plain ANTI-SOCIALIST.
56 out of 60 here. 2 wrong answers were just because I rushed through it and I’m tired. 19 and 58 I just didn’t know, but admittedly I should have known them. Oh well.
Got 58. Probably a little more economics in there than I’d have put, and my guess is that the authors were of the Austrian School... ;-)

Well, I made an 80. Who the heck is Max Weber?
I got a 75%....average.
That was actually a pretty hard test. I need to brush up on my Burke and my macroeconomic theory, apparently.
It has long been my contention that the reason the country has fallen so far to the left is that unrevised American History has not been taught for decades in the public school system.
Social studies with political overtones has taken it’s place to the point where America is taught to be the villain in the world today in all too many cases.
Does the allegiance to the flag still open the new school day across the country? Is the National Anthem played at the beginning of each football game? Or have they been deliberately stamped out to defeat the unity of patriots?
If a people doesn’t know from whence it came, can a people have guidelines on where to go? I think that bad decisions are made on a more emotional basis than an intellectual one, based on a knowledge of historical events .
Unrevised American history is full of real heroes. All young people need heroes to admire. They all need inspiration to aspire to greatness in their own lives.
Public education as well as higher education has robbed two generations of Americans so far. Will our cherished way of life be extinct before another can be raised?
Parents, take charge of your schools. If they do not respond, home school your children. You can do it! You will benefit by watching your children enthuse as they learn, and you just might learn a thing or two as well.
Has anyone using Firefox taken this quiz?
The automatic scorer said that I “missed (failed to answer?) a few questions.”
...all of ‘em.
GRRRRRRRRRR...
Argh! I only got 51 out of 60 right. :{
