Progressing to Ignorance

"A native American who cannot read or write is
as rare an appearance... as a comet or an earthquake." -John Adams


TBN has a new piece from American Heritage/Wall Builders , ...it's a must see.
David Barton shows examples of mandatory school requirements from the past.
in many cases typical materiel from the 4th grade is now considered "higher learning"

a common age for entering college was 13 years old.
Barton shows examples of early Americans holding important offices and making amazing accomplishments from the ages of 11-17.


in 40 short years the Socialist "Progressives" took this country from #1 in education to #68



check TBN for programs featuring David Barton.

Sound like an interesting article, I'll check that out when I get back to the office. George washington led many men at an early age. Even andrew jackson was a POW during the revolutionary war, I believe he was around 11 or 12 at that time. Incredible bravery at such a young age. They were taught responsibility and work ethic at a young age to ensure their families survival and self preservation. I cant tell you how many adults I encounter that have completed high school yet have a third grade vocabulary, or any grasp of simple mathematics. Anyways, I'll check it out tonight. Thanks

It's no secret this country has been dumbed down intentionally by the academic progressives. They cannot survive with an intelligent, informed public. Fat, drunk and stupid, is their rally cry.......Don't forget Hope and Change...

AGREED! search a childrens cartoon called The Wonder Pets! It will turn your stomach! This and MANY others like it on the same network have been banned in my home! No doubt, this is intentional brainwashing of our youth.

Yeah they sure taught the slaves a work ethic and they didn't allow them to read either or go to school' The schools didn't become integrated till the sixties. The blacks were going to schools in shacks with no books or money after that. I guess its all how you look at it isn't it?

Sure going to school with no books. Give us a break. Gees. Who taught you that, history? Or did you even go to school? With statements like that one can only guess.

No credibility that is for sure. Please go post crazy stuff like that somewhere else. Have a good night.
