A study from the 1990s reveals that half of all Mexican-Americans and Filipinos, after four years in American high schools, were less, not more, likely to identify themselves as Americans.

I think this is indicative of a much deeper problem, namely that a lot of American high school and college students do not learn and do not carry American values as well any more.

Thanks to "Social Studies", ie; US History, US Constitution courses, replaced by Global Sing-a-longs.

Who Is Destroying America?

  1. The education establishment also shares responsibility. They have experimented on our children with one new theory after another, but our children learn less and less. When I attended an inner-city grade school decades ago, all of my classmates could read and write, including the black, Hispanic, and dirt-poor children. Too many teenagers nowadays can barely read or write and know little of geography and American history. Bilingual programs divide us as a people and prevent immigrant children from learning the language skills they need to achieve the American dream. Education bureaucrats promote indoctrination rather than education, and conclude they´ve done their job if our children are "sensitive" to every politically correct and globalist issue.

    Alan Caruba said it well in his review of the book, The Deliberate Dumbing Down of America in which he exposed the government's "Pacesetters in Innovation," a 584-page catalogue of "behavior modification programs" to be used by the schools:

    "Let me repeat that: a catalogue of behavior modification programs! We´re not talking of programs to teach students anything. We are talking about programs to indoctrinate children passing through the system to believe in values contrary to those on which this nation was based.
    "In brief, the intention was to create a generation or two of Americans who would accept the United Nations, not the United States, as their new 'nation,´ a global nation, one-world government."
  2. Universities have turned into centers of anti-Americanism, globalism, and socialism, and leftist professors impart those beliefs to their naïve young students. After four years of nonstop leftist propaganda, it´s no wonder so many students pick up a leftist tinge by the time they graduate.
