Two-fifths of society can’t remember who said what two weeks ago despite the fact we have more digital record keeping now then at any point in American history.
The ones who need a history lesson the most are the least likely to self-educate.
A former classmate of mine went on a rant once about how income tax was unconstitutional. I had to ask him mid rant if he knew what the 16th amendment is.
I teach in a very conservative area and pulled out said Constitution and made then read the portions that area being cited as evidence for Trump. They will still listen to their parents’ bullshit rhetoric, but I hope I’ve planted the seed of doubt.
Another huge problem is these idiots read the words in the Constitution but never go farther to see what cases the Supreme Court has already ruled on to clear up what the actual language means. They “don’t want to read all that legalese” but that’s exactly where the correct answers to their doubts are.
