I am not so sure civics is required in Highschool anymore.

The public education system here in Houston is doing their best to train good little brainwashed democrats.

What's hilarious is that the article doesn't list them either. Doubt that other than 'freedom of speech' and 'freedom of the press' the reporters would probably list:

'freedom from religion'
'freedom of anti-war protesters to assemble'
'freedom to petition against conservatives'

If people want to learn, they will learn. The problem is that few are intellectually curious anymore. Well, strike that--few have ever been intellectually curious.

22 percent of Americans could name all five Simpson family members, compared with just one in 1,000 people who could name all five First Amendment freedoms.

I could only remember four of the five freedoms contained in the First Amendment, but I could name more than five Simpson family members, so I made it up on the backend.

I think it's "From each according to his ability to each according to his need." Kids these days...

Oh, wait, no, I'm wrong. First Amendment - "Workers of the World, unite! You have nothing to lose but your chains!"

Pretty sad state of affairs, but thankfully no one answered, "The separation of Church and State" (words which of course are not in the Constitution).

What's worse, the SIMPSONS probably know more about the constitution than most people.
