Meet the graduating Texas senior class of 2020 and beyond. This group of students has some unique identifying characteristics, products of an education based upon textbooks crafted with an agenda. If you were to test them on their knowledge, here's what you'd discover:
- They don't know who Thomas Jefferson is and why he's significant, but they do known who John Calvin is and believe he was instrumental to the formation of our nation.
- They believe the terms church and state are interchangeable.
- They do not believe in evolution as fact, but are inclined to embrace creation theory or intelligent design as the explanation for how the universe came into existence.
- They believe the right to bear arms is a first AND second amendment right granted by the Constitution. (see 11:12 entry)
- They do not understand the term "democracy", but can define "constitutional Republic" and apply it to the American system of government.
- They don't know that the United States Constitution bans placing one religion over others.
- They can name at least three pro-free market factors contributing to European progress in medieval times. (Yes, I'm serious. Read the 6:43 pm entry)
- They cannot define capitalism, but are completely familiar with the idea that taxation and government regulation inhibits free enterprise.
- They ignore Hispanics and their role in various historical events in the United States, such as the Alamo.
