Video: College students don't know who won the Civil War or who is Vice President...

The historical and political ignorance of your people is astounding.Ask the a pop culture question and they all know the answer. Please keep in mind, these are the young people allegedly bright enough to go to college. These are the voters who helped elect Barack Obama. BTW, who the heck is Snooki?

Insanity: California Legislature Passes Bill to Force Schools to Teach Gay History

Gay Pride Parade - San Francisco 2005

Governor Jerry Brown has not signed the bill, but don't expect Moonbeam to veto this one.
SACRAMENTO, Calif (Reuters) — A bill to require California public schools to teach the historical accomplishments of gay men and lesbians passed the state Legislature on Tuesday in what supporters call a first for the nation.

Governor Jerry Brown, a Democrat, has not said publicly whether he supports the bill, which he has 12 days to sign or veto once it reaches his desk later this month. If he takes no action, the measure would become law automatically.

The bill gained final passage from the state Assembly on a vote of 49-25, without a single Republican supporting it. The measure cleared the state Senate in April.

California already requires public schools to teach the contributions made to society by women and by racial and ethnic groups that were historically discriminated against, such as blacks, Latinos and Native Americans.
Supporters of the latest bill said it would simply include gays, lesbians, bisexuals and transgender individuals in that existing requirement, making it part of the curriculum in history and other social studies classes.

The Tea Party Movement isn't the Only Thing Liberals are Ignorant About

Apparently, they didn't get past elementary school history. They heaped ridicule on Sarah Palin for telling supporters, "Don't party like it's 1773 yet." Even Daily Kos head loon Markos got in on the supposed fun. The Boston Tea Party occurred in 1773 and that was clearly what Palin was referencing.

26% of Americans don't know who we declared independence from


26% of Americans don't know who we declared independence from on July 4, 1776. These history challenged Americans tend to be more low income, young and minority. In other words, they resemble Obama voters.

NBC New York reported reported:
As grills across America fire up this weekend some Americans may want to crack open a history book instead of a cold beer.

A Marist poll finds that 26 percent of Americans don’t know whom the United States declared its independence from...

For the record, it was Great Britain we broke away from.
