Two-thirds of Americans cannot name a single Supreme Court justice… about one-third can name the three branches of government. Fewer than one-fifth of high school seniors can explain how citizen participation benefits democracy.  Less than one-third of eighth-graders can identify the historical purpose of the Declaration of Independence, and it's right there in the name," [former Justice Sandra Day O'Connor, 05SEP13] 

HERE is the real problem in our nation… ya’ think?

I know we had beaten this subject to death, but it is truly the downfall of our nation… the “low information” voter. 

We learn that our education system is going to have a federally mandated core curriculum. Knowing our failing Department of Education (the other DoE is failing too), civics will either NOT be in the core curriculum or it will be corrupted by the left wing revisionists who are more interested in Sally Hemmings than the Declaration of Independence.
