Reply #56: I heard one of the stupidest things on C-Span [View All]

Some senator was on the floor speaking about passing a bill that would make it mandatory for teachers to teach about the U.S. Constitution to SENIORS IN HIGH SCHOOL.

I yelled: WHAT? at my TV.

YEARS ago when I was in school we learned about the three branches of government, about the U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights -- like in 7TH OR 8TH GRADE.

I can not believe that that senator would be dumb enough to think that teachers should wait until the LAST year of high school to teach these things.

I am sure a good percentage of the DUMB people in the USA dropped out of school and never made it to their senior year - so what that senator was proposing is not going to help with the problem we now have.
