Maybe it wasn’t such a great idea to reduce the number of classes that teach civics, democracy and American history?

And maybe it wasn’t such a good idea that it took this long for establishment Democrats to even talk about it. Producing generation after generation of American children who weren’t even taught the basics of American civics, ideals or government could only have ended in disaster.

And no one has said anything at all relating to civics in school before this? GMAB

Many talked about it - particularly teachers - but few in power gave it the serious attention it should have received. Issues regarding children are routinely peripheralized. Current events are helping to awaken us and hopefully that will change.

This was by design starting w/John Dewey c. 1925, "We will transform USA starting w/ elementary grades." Critical Theory & Frankfurt School followed. Delayed by Depression, WWII & post-War boom; by 1970 subtle Leftist anti-Americanism was taking hold. Now, 3-gens of ignorance...
