Well.... ignorance mission complete, I'd say.
it’s very hard to grasp that the person you’re talking to, who is bright, articulate, advisable, interested, and doesn’t know who Beethoven is. Had no view looking back at the history of the 20th century – just sees a fog. A blank. Has the vaguest idea of who Winston Churchill was or why he mattered. And maybe has no image of Teddy Roosevelt, let’s say, at all. I mean, these are people who – We have failed.
By sending our kids to government schools we have raised generations of ignorant people who have no clue where they came from or where they're going.
That explains why Obama got elected twice, doesn't it?
History may not repeat, but it sure does rhyme...
