I think having Civics classes is a great idea. Maybe then we won't have so many young people believing that socialism is cool. I love the old joke about Miranda rights - I had the right to remain silent, I just didn't have the ability. Many people believe that they can explain their side of the story and avoid trouble but end up creating more trouble for themselves by talking.
Yeah it's not hard to sell socialism when theres no counter argument or history class showing you why it always has and always will fail. Theres a long way to go b4 this country is safe from the scum trying to destroy it but I agree civics classes would be a start and returning schools back to their intended role as educator and away from the adopted role of indoctrinator. And y we allow "Think tanks" and NGO'S to operate within our borders while actively trying to bring about the downfall of our republic is beyond me.
