Westy, I think you hit the nail on the head. I routinely ask various people if they know what their Constitutional rights are. I even ask the simplest question, what is Constitutional Amendment #1? You know, out of maybe 500 people, maybe 3 knew. But even they only knew parts. I have yet to question and be answered correctly. I even had one person tell me that the First Ammendment is the right to watch whatever t.v. program you want. I serenely explained to her that they didn't have electricity back when the Constituion was written, let alone television.....
Lord, come back soon.......

post script: So I asked my kids. Guess what? They are not taught the Constituion like most of us were in school. Amazing. They will teach "black history" and "latino history", but not our own roots. Makes me effing sick. Seriously.

Just look at your average textbook - chapters on black history (Dr. Kings death - 1 guy), chapters on the JFK era (1 guy - dead), chapters on the environment... one brief chapter on WWII (around 400,000 americans killed), back to the environment, etc.

Kids today know more about endangered animals and the major oil spills than they do about our countries founding, our constitution, and our military history.

If you want to take over a country and your patient, you only need to reform the education system.....

you will see as I have most teachers are in the middle but swing toward the left more often than not. My dad, mom, sister, brother in law, 2 uncles are all teachers and my girlfriend is finishing to be a teacher. I am the lone non-teacher being a pilot although I have taught people to fly and have my substitute teaching license.
In college they do learn a lot about the history of the US if they take the courses. My GF knows more than I ever did and I learn more from her all the time. We have some pretty good and sometimes heated discussions but I like how she really knows her facts.

Hopefully if obama gets elected it won't be such a big deal with black history month and we can have a US history month instead. There is good information from those groups and a lot of history in it, but you are right our kids need to know how the country was founded and the beliefs and ideas it was founded on.
