Dumbed Down Youth Clueless What Makes An American





[From article]
Paul has yet to focus his campaign on a subject -- which I told him in a recent telephone conversation -- that he is uniquely qualified to speak on: the dangerous ignorance throughout this nation among students and adults on why they are Americans.
[. . .]
what's more alarming for our future as a self-governing republic is that so few public schools -- from fourth grade to graduate school -- have mandated courses in American history, let alone courses in the ever-dramatic story of how our Constitution has been rescued from regal presidents and their Congresses.
