Thomas Jefferson complained that "Forty five percent of the populace know only what the newspapers tell them."

Nothing has changed.

I still know some of those 45%. It's a shame, most of them are family members.

Do you think it's still only 45? I'm not that optimistic

Wasn't it Mark Twain who said "Those who do not read the newspaper on uninformed. Those who do are ill-informed."?

Public schools stopped teaching civics (our government at the federal and state level) over 50 years ago. The real history of America has been omitted and replaced with Marxist/Socialist lies and propaganda two generations ago. The deliberate dumbing down of our children is a complete success. This all can be turned around only by waking up good parents and demanding a complete overhaul of the system and total control of the local school board.

I'm in my mid 50's and I can still remember my father talking about the dumbing down of America before I was a teenager. As far as waking up good parents. Good luck with that. A group of folks here went up against the local school board and as luck would have it, some of the teachers started asking students with last names the same as members of the group if they were any relation to us. It certainly dampened the ire of a lot of the good parents. Some of us without kids in the district were targeted for reassessment of our properties. Until you get the unions out of the schools, it's a losing battle.

Wut? (I kid, I kid...) Agree on the unions 100%. Homeschool if you can. 2 hours a day. It's worth it.

As an educator, this is so sad. I teach math and science but I see it in the writing and comments of my students. Very disheartening!

Had a sophomore once tell me on the first day of English class, they were teaching the difference between there, they're and their. And kids were asking questions. Sad.

Homeschool, Homeschool, Homeschool. Really people, it takes about 2 hours a day, half the year at most, at your leisure. Your kids and your future are worth it.

Totally agree. I watched this also and was absolutely stunned to hear most of the callers say Trump is guilty. As for the guy who said mannertisms what a fucking illiterate joke.

There is still too many idiots who are brainwashed by fake MSM. It is frightening and i think i heard a few of the 4-6% Q said is lost forever.

All the school funding was diverted for decades to foreign aid and overseas military bases by congress.

All you have to do is read the comments on here. It's sad when you can't even write a topic headline without spelling and grammatical errors.

It makes us all look dumb. It's embarrassing. I sometimes wonder if shills do it purposely just to make us look dumb.

I thought the exact same thing listening to the callers. The level of ignorance is overwhelming unless those are paid shills calling in.
