I heard a report that the S.A.T. scores for reading are the lowest in 4 decades. I'm guessing you don't absorb much history if you don't read.
I think most students would be horrified to read of the murders committed by the minions of Joseph Stalin. They'd have to know first, and few are willing to do the research.
I, once, knew a girl that made the comment: "Living in a Communist country probably wouldn't be that bad." After I made sure her brain didn't fall out, I realized she was as ignorant as a box of rocks.
Your really have to work at being that ignorant....and yes, she was blonde.
And we wonder why kids come out of school with such warped thinking.
