More from the poll:

quote:

The survey also assessed the extent to which people have come to believe a hypothesis put forth in the 1619 Project: that preserving slavery was a primary reason the American Revolution was fought. The survey found a little more than a third (36%) believe this claim, while 39% believe it’s not true, and about a quarter (26%) aren’t sure if it’s true or not true.

This idea has strongly permeated among the nation’s youth. Young people are more than twice as likely to believe this is true (47%) as to believe it is untrue (21%). This stands in stark contrast to seniors, of whom just 18% believe it is true, compared with 64% who believe it is untrue. Democrats (46%) are also more likely to believe it than Republicans (36%) and independents (25%).


Facts of history change according to your age, just as our teachers prefer. The worst part is even 36% of Republicans believe it.

There have been so many of the cable news channels with different panels covering different events. But one of their commentators said it was the 250 birthday of the US Constitution.

Reaffirms that roughly the top third of our population is carrying the Nation, and the world for that matter.

That's a win for you and your ilk, OP. Celebrate.

Dumbed down Americans are more likely to vote right with you. Even better if they hate the country too.

Our students only take 1 year of US history in HS. German students have to take 4 years of German history. It's a lot longer and a lot more complicated than our history.

Here it is summed up: Liberals run education. Those who can, do. Those who can't, teach. They care more about indoctrination than teaching, these days anyway.

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.

56lsu, if you still believe that what he said is BS at this point, I think you’re beyond help.

Nearly all of Eurocats don’t know the difference between a plural and a possessive. A lefty, at that.

Just wanted to add that the CATO institute is global Marxist propaganda now. They play with numbers and methods to get a desired outcome and it’s NOTHING to do with libertarianism as they will proclaim they are for. And I would trust nothing they come out with.

Their immigration reports are so very easily hacked to pieces with facts

None of that is surprising. I bet 75 percent or more couldn't name the vice president and 85 percent or more can't name the 3 branches of government.
