Clueless beach goers in this throwback video have NO CLUE what the 4th of July is, who we gained our independence from, or who the first president was!

It's worrysome to realize that these folks, including an English teacher who doesn't know how to spell "Independence," can all vote.

Many don’t know what “turkey day” is either.

Insidious that this putrid education system that costs multiple billions actually dumbs down the students and so they can be manipulated with emotional ignorance to do the left’s biddings. Such a great historical heritage is America and so many are uneducated about its founding. But fireworks celebrations for the masses to enjoy.

A lot of these videos are edited to make folks look bad. For example, they could ask 100 people who Abraham Lincoln was, and get two stupid answers.

It’s those two stupid people who make the final cut.

So you never can tell…

It’s easy to cherry-pick interviewees, so one needs to watch this sort of video with caution, but Kaitlin Bennett, who runs the Liberty Hangout site, seems to be a reliable Youtuber.

Sis and I have been trying to find good non-animation movies that kids (10 and under) would watch re Mayflower and the American Revolution. Have not had any luck.

The grands don’t appreciate the wonderfulness of how their privileged world began and came together. No clue at all.

Have heard that Angel Studios welcomes ideas for new content from regular folks. Something to consider.

All purposeful by the Lying Left and teacher’s unions that have taken over elementary school and higher “education”, and have banned teaching the Constitution, the Bible, and American history.

Try Johnny Tremain, a 1957 movie. I remember that one from when I was 10 or so.

I knew who our first president was when I was in kindergarten. However, we were also taught the cherry tree story, which everyone believed was true.
