Ya, and how can a child raised in this country not even know what the Revoltionary War was or when it was fought. One question they had was, when was the Civil War fought. One young lady (about 22) answered, uh, around 1950? Have mercy on us all.
OK Marion...YOU got me started... Not too long ago I saw a "street survey" of highschool age (and older) young Americans and I was apalled at their lack of knowledge...One girl thought Germany was on OUR SIDE during WWII!! Maybe she went to Joe Stalin Highschool I don't know....God help us.
