Gong to a school, being ‘knowledgeable’, even getting a degree, don’t ensure that you are truly *educated*; especially now, when public education has been so ‘dumbed-down’.

When I was a kid, we had to study civics and American history, to graduate from High School. That doesn’t seem to be widely required now, and doesn’t seem to be a requirement even at many Universities.

If these ‘kids’ - and some adults - who have recently been protesting against the Electoral College, had actually been educated about it, many would have seen the brilliance of it; and wouldn’t be so easily swayed by shallow, politically-driven arguments against it.

Hillsdale College seems to still be offering its free course on the Constitution. Get your kids into it:
