This is what passes as the "educated left" today.

[Theowl32]

An American Council of Trustees and Alumni study — “No US History? How College History Departments Leave the United States out of the Major,” based on requirements and course offerings at 75 leading colleges and universities — found that “the overwhelming majority of America’s most prestigious institutions do not require even the students who major in history to take a single course on United States history or government.”

At some schools that require history majors to take at least one US history course, the requirement can be fulfilled with courses like “Mad Men and Mad Women” (Middlebury College), “Hip-Hop, Politics and Youth Culture in America” (University of Connecticut) and “Jews in American Entertainment” (University of Texas). Constitutional history is an afterthought.

ACTA-commissioned survey found that less than half of college graduates knew that George Washington was the commanding general at Yorktown; that nearly half didn’t know that Theodore Roosevelt was important to the construction of the Panama Canal; that more than one-third couldn’t place the Civil War in a correct 20-year span or identify Franklin Roosevelt as the architect of the New Deal; that 58 percent didn’t know that the Battle of the Bulge occurred in World War II; and that nearly half didn’t know the lengths of the terms of US senators and representatives.

Yes folks, that is the educated left. The left wing educated left.

It's sad what we are letting democrats do to our children......

 

[LeftofLeft]

The Left touts itself as educated and enlightened. The Left threw 100 percent support behind the 2010 ACA Act while Conservatives voted against it 100 percent. The Architect of the Plan said that its success was dependent on the stupidity of the American voter to support the plan.

Go figure.

And people pay big money to to have a dumb as a door knob graduate!

 

[aaronleland]

If you haven't learned enough about US history and government in your initial 12 years of schooling there isn't much hope for you anyways.

Ah, yes...an op-ed by George Will who recently left the Republican party, because the uneducated right-wing ADULTS were supporting Trump. Very good. Thanks.

Republicans have been cutting back on primary and secondary public education for the last 30 years. I guess colleges can't turn 12 years of damage around in four.

They cannot count change, read a menu, write their names or identify Florida on a map.

They can put a condom on a banana and invent 74 different genders.

George Will has always been a left leaning whiny hack. No loss at all.

I taught a couple survey courses on American History as a GTA and I was gobsmacked at how many students were clueless about our nation's history. The blame doesn't rest solely with their high-school teachers as some students are just lazy as all Hell.

How's that on-line degree going?

You trying to make the left proud?

Charter schools..otherwise they're lost until their early 30's.

Have you ever watched a Watters interview? Those liberal educated kids are dumb as dirt. They don't know the basics.
