Nearly half of American's don't know what America250 is celebrating

Ahead of America’s 250th anniversary on Saturday, almost half of Americans do not know what the day celebrates, according to a new survey released on Thursday.
A nation-wide poll conducted by the libertarian think tank Cato Institute found that only 53 percent of respondents could correctly identify the adoption of the Declaration of Independence as the historical event marked by July 4.
Forty-six percent of Americans surveyed said they did not know what the day commemorated, including 61 percent of Gen Z respondents.
Additionally, 58 percent of all those surveyed did not know the main purpose of the U.S. Constitution and 57 percent could not explain why the U.S. declared independence from Great Britain to form a government with limited powers.
These results follow reports of low patriotism among some sections of the U.S. population ahead of America’s birthday party in Washington, D.C., and anniversary celebrations across the country.

America is full of low iq, publicly (government) educated pre diabetics.
This isn’t exactly news.

Jesus! What an indictment of the education in this country. That's shameful and disgusting.

I wonder how many people were surveyed for this.
I am not saying this is true or false, but when these surveys pop up, I always wonder who they asked, where and how many.
They did not ask me.

Yeah, but the kids are well aware of the importance and significance of lgbtq+-<>[;^.
The teachers unions know what's best for the kids!

The left hates America.
It’s the Cultural Revolution part 2.
It is the new age version of destroying old customs, culture, habits, and ideas.
The left is vile, and violent.

Leftism
Posted on 7/6/26 at 8:15 am to Eurocat
I explained to my little ones about the declaration and why it was necssary, but that letters are meaningless unless you have a 6'3" indestructible ginger willing to sneak across an icy river on Christmas night and murder some unsuspecting Germans first thing in the morning.
They were like "WTF"?!

Just like the commies want.
Reduce our history, reduce our sovereignty.
It’s a leftist’s dream come true.

It pains me to think that 56 brave men took the supreme risk and sacrificed so much just so we could have an idiocracy 250 years later.
