Public education has been failing for generations. Google one of those 8th grade tests from 1901 and you'll see we're complete and total shlubs next to the children that were education with McGuffy Readers, Ray's Practical Arithmetic and the old fashioned copybook.

She's right though. We have done an absolutely terrible job of educating on political philosophy and the ideas behind our country's founding. After the end of the cold war, we fell asleep. I blame conservatives of the 90s and 00s on this most of all, actually.

It's not enough to educate on WHAT happened, we also need to teach WHY it happened, and why our government was built the way it was built. Average high school grad thinks we are capitalists because we like money. Zero clue about what individualism is

I don’t read it as approving. I read it as matter-of-fact, and we are free to find the young people’s attitudes appalling.
