This would be mostly thanks to high powered liberal teachers unions who can't even make sure they hire teachers without an agenda other than teaching who successfully show and TEACH the students of today know how count much less teach them all who the damn father of this great country was and is!!
My apologies to all the fine hard working teachers and school personnel who do give your hearts and souls everyday, as I'm obviously not speaking to you here in this rant, and thanks to buddy Ed R. for nudging me to make that clearer here in the post...
Can you imagine not knowing the answer to that question in this day and age, especially with all the information at our fingertips in a second's notice?? Not to mention us learning it in the third grade as I did 35 years ago for pete's sake, much less making it to high school and not knowing it, like the study below indicates!
And here's a hint kiddies.....it wasn't Karl Marx or Vladimir Lenin, no matter how badly many of today's teachers, particularly liberal college professors and today's president wish it were true.
Tulsa World: "Oklahoma high school students are ill informed on the constitution, and only one in four can name the first president of the United States, according to a recent survey.
The survey was conducted to find the students' level of basic civil knowledge. It took 10 questions from the test candidates for U.S. citizenship take. It was sponsored by the Oklahoma Council of Public Affairs think tank to coincide with Constitution Day on Thursday.
The passing rate for Oklahoma high school students was 2.8 percent, compared to 92 percent of candidates for U.S. citizenship.
'In that miracle at Philadelphia 222 years ago, the Framers gave us a document which they hoped would secure our freedoms,' OCPA Vice President Brandon Dutcher said in a statement. 'But they knew that only a well-informed citizenry could remain free. If these survey results are any indication, we are very much a nation at risk.'
OCPA promotes public policies favoring free enterprise and limited government."
