I agree. There is a saying " A lie is half-way around the world, before the truth can get out of bed and tie it's shoes" The Federal Department of Education needs to be disbanded, public school systems need to be revised and colleges should be de-funded. All high school students should be required to pass the same exam on the US Constitution that legal immigrants are taught. It still will not be enough but it is a start. It will take a grass roots effort to turn this around. Even on this board (and I don't mean this as an offense to anyone) we can see that peoples idea of what needs to be done is vastly different. People really need to go back to the basics to get this right, but they think things like "common sense gun control" or a "fetus can be deprived of due process" or "free speech doesn't mean I can say climate change is wrong" etc. etc. etc. is okay because I don't want to be called a "racist" by my friends. Peoples "good intentions" have us on the pathway to hell. You have got to inoculate yourself to the namecalling and take a stand. Freedom isn't free and you will lose something but what you will gain is priceless. G-n-G

Leftist idiocy has 3 causes. 1. The person is plain stupid and incapable of processing data. 2. The person is deliberately uninformed and dwells in leftist echo chambers. 3. The person is simply intellectually dishonest in that they know better but spout lies to exploit the ignorant for personal gain. Many leading D politicians fall into category 3. They are wealthy and damn well know how wealth is created. But then they spout their left wing crap to exploit the ignorant for personal gain. Bob
