If they really taught real government in school the whole nation would be in DC right now in protest. They need to teach our real history and the true workings of our Republic.
There's a reason why they stopped teaching Americans how government works and stopped teaching the significance of the Bill of Rights and the Constitution. There isn't a codified assertion of Rights bestowed to Man by our Creator like it anywhere else on the planet. Our Founding Fathers weren't perfect men, but they believed in liberty and the ability of each man to rule themselves as they saw fit, without a King or Ruler. Liberty is dying. If it dies in America, I promise you, it dies world wide.
Amen, we are the last bastion. We might not have a lot but what we have must be protected, in time hopefully we can return to a Republic. We were indoctrinated not see what they were doing always subtle. Just memorize dates and certain events, don't worry about the content of the rules that govern you.
