The schools here barely cover the contributions of the founders, and when they do it usually focuses on their refusal to deal with the institution of slavery.Kids graduate totally ignorant of the constitution and founding principles.

Public educatators are for the most part clinically insane.

Check out AP (Advanced Placement) US Government. The foundational philosophies of our nation are given short shrift and most classes watch West Wing to learn about American government.

That’s the class that our ‘best and brightest’ learn about our country. AP US History is just as bad. FDR and his fellow travelers are given the typical white wash. Now these same mush headed, but bright kids go on to become the Ivy League grads running the country. Can you see the problem?
