A high school sophomore from New Jersey is challenging Rep. Michele Bachmann to a debate on civics and the U.S. Constitution. In an open letter to to Bachmann, Amy Myers of Cherry Hill, N.J., said, “I have found quite a few of your statements regarding The Constitution of the United States, the quality of public school education and general U.S. civics matters to be factually incorrect, inaccurately applied or grossly distorted.”

Another teenager thinking they know better.....till reality slaps them square in the face. Reminds me of many of the first year university students I teach in history who claim to be so knowledgeable in various matters ...till I give them their first quiz...on their first day of class....reality sucks, huh? =.=

I wonder whose interpretation of the U.S. Constitution the little girl intends to use. The one the Founding Fathers had or the one poured into her skull by her Marxist indoctrinators.

I hope she starts this brainwashed know-it-all with the hypo of forcing the A students in the class to average their GPA with the D and F students.

Exactly. What they're teaching these days bears little resemblance to reality.

No "news" here. This isn't about what some snot nosed 15 year old said - who cares; the biased pr*cks in the media have merely found yet another way to set a conservative up for lose lose public relations debacle.

I hate em - the legacy press can't go belly up soon enough for me.

Why doesn't she start with people like Barney Frank, Nancy Pelosi, Obama, Reid, Kerry, Franken, etc.?

Those would be easy pickings for someone that can write a nice letter like the one allegedly wrote challenging Bachmann.

Apparently the little Sophomore protagonist is OK with The Bamster’s geographical statement of 57 states in America or his pronunciation of Marine Corps as in corpse. Yet he is the smartest guy in the room.

Typically, in situations like this....the parent of the kid is the driving force. We can make an assumption that Mom or Dad is a very out-spoken individual who has helped to guide their kid to be a debate artist...having all the right bullet statements and crafted various come-back lines. The smartest thing is lead the kid to the Constitution and ask them defend freedom of speech. That usually messes up the kid’s entire argument from that point on.

Except for the extraordinary exception, I don’t take seriously the opinions of those under 25 (make that 30 if they’ve attended a state-run liberal arts college — takes at least five years to recover from the indoctrination).

is challenging Rep. Michele Bachmann to a debate on civics and the U.S. Constitution.

so that she can rehash all the indoctrination of libtard propaganda that she has accepted by intellectual default and then memorized

“A high school sophomore from New Jersey is challenging Rep. Michele Bachmann to a debate on civics and the U.S. Constitution”

And in other news on this slow news day.......rescue crews dispatched as cat gets stuck up tree in Michele Bachmann’s neighborhood. Town on edge as neighbors watch in horror.
