Actually, take a trip to your local elementary school - instead of the ususal kids being kids, they are all lined up like drones, no noises, no playing, no running - just marching from class to the cafeteria or the gym. Reminds of the school children sausage machine in Pink Floyd's "The Wall."

I will be wearing a t-shirt with a Jefferson quote as I give a 2 handed 1 finger salute walking through the tsa scanner: "I prefer dangerous freedom over peaceful slavery."

Indeed. Thomas Jefferson had volumes to say about the Constitution as well (to which the politically correct will respond "yeah, but he owned slaves and slept with Sally Hemmings").

A THOROUGH reading and discussion of the Constitution would be far more educational than any study of a single President. This country was not created to be what it is today.

Good point, and a point for the point.

I was surprised at the people who couldn't name George Washington.

My favorite George Washington quote:
Government is like a fire.
Useful in the fireplace,
But when it gets out of it's place
It will consume everything you own.

When will they start teaching goose stepping in gym class?

It can still be 3 Rs RMP....only now its....

Racism
Recession
Redistribution

If they want to reduce American political science to the term of one President, they should roll a few dice (or equivalent) and study THAT president. Chances are that a number of students today cannot name every U.S. President, And the more obscure figures just might provide an interesting lesson, namely, that becoming President does not automatically make one great. Actions and deeds, not titles, make for greatness.

There must be something that can be learned from Millard Fillmore, John Tyler, and (insert name of your choice).

Learn to swim.

Heil Obama!

See you down in Arizona Bay.

As a High School teacher I guess I could take my class into the bathroom and flush some cash down the toilet and maybe a copy of the Constitution as well.

This isn't the first time. How about the music teacher who taught her students, in the Burlington Township (New Jersey) schools, to sing a paean to Obama?

You just want beach front property, lol.

In Arizona and Nevada schools.

OOoh. I want a bobble-head!

Ask my students what word is synonymous with the word Politician and the quick reply will be "reprobate" and the Pres is a politician. Always happy to be an equal opportunity offender, so if that were to fly in my state I would ask it be up to the elementary teachers so the HS can unteach them and introduce a little reality.

Have fun!

Nice find. The absurdity continues...

ah, phrase of the day pirate

I agree, the lesson should be mandatory and the lesson should be what happens when you let a malignant narcissist Marxist ideologue get power.

Not even one!
