American Kids Don't Know American History

" MLK Jr. freed the slaves! Learning is the good!"

I have always said that it is extremely important to teach history and government in our schools. These two subjects will become vital resources of knowledge when the children grow up to be voting citizens in our great Republic.

Sadly I don't think that we are teaching kids much in public schools.

This article from the Washington Post confirms my fears.
