I bet they know the answer if you ask them who destroyed the native Americans, who had black slaves, who interred the Japanese in WWII, or who dropped the atom bomb, who is the biggest threat to world peace, they would know in a flash.
ReplyDeleteThe school system is an indoctrination process and not only are we turning out dummies we are turning out America hating youngsters, ready to expect "entitlements" and they'll be damned if they have to do anything at all to earn a living.

I wonder what these wonders will do when we are $25 Trillion in debt, there are no jobs and Obamacare starts cutting services. Will they be able to comprehend what they did with their vote or will they riot in the streets like they are doing in Greece?
