You would think that. You would be wrong. edit: We learn about the constitution, but only rough details about the 1st, 2nd, 4th, 5th, and sometimes the 14th amendments.

My government teacher made us study the constitution exhaustively (For 10th graders). Government was an elective course in high school.

IIRC Constituition/Bill of Rights didn't happen until high school, and of course YMMV, it depends on how well funded your district is, and how chuddy your state school board. Grade school was Declaration up until war of 1812. The Articles of Confederation and the whole Federalist debate was a footnote.

I went to public school in an extremely well funded New England state. In grade school we were taught about the Civil War being about slaves, and a few famous generals. In middle school we went over the constitution/bill of rights/etc. as a concept, but not really in detail. We did cover the Civil War in more detail, and even covered a bit of Reconstruction. In high school my government/civics class was an elective that I took. We discussed primarily the federal/state system, the justice system, etc. All my high school level history classes were focused on WW1/WW2/Korea/Vietnam. They didn't really offer anything about the Revolution or a dedicated Civil War class.

I remember WW2 internment camps being maybe a two paragraph section in my junior high history book.

Civics class should be what covers it. I remember learning about it in middle and high school civics. Also history classes. My idiot brothers are of the same line of thought as my coworker. Like, dumbasses, it takes very little time to read the constitution. It's not Playboy, you shouldn't be skipping articles.

Comrade Blyatlov posted:How the gently caress did I get a better education on your history than you One of the two major parties in America is ideologically committed to the idea that slashing funding for anything that isn't a billionaire paying for their re-election is a universally positive goal in all situations, at all times, with no end ever. That this coincidentally creates a largely uneducated public is a feature, not a bug. Educated people start asking questions and believing things other than propaganda, and that is inconvenient

It’s also class warfare. You can keep the useful skills gated behind a university education and limit it so that the right kind of people get it. Who are now financially invested and encouraged to separate from their non-educated peers and compound/perpetuate the cycle.

Im happy i had a good us history teacher in 11th who did poo poo like put up a map of the us with registered hate groups marked out with dots from 1927 surprise its from 2005 and went over the trail of tears and internment camps. He even did quick brushups on the constitution even tho his class was suppossed to be like 1865 to current times

Jeez, I guess I got a better education in high school then I realized. My 10th grade history book was A People's History of the United States. We also learned how the Kennedy assassination was a conspiracy, a guy named Smeadly Butler stopped the DuPoint and Rockefeller families from starting a military junta, and Reagan gutted the working class by going to war with the unions.

I can also imagine the tech billionaires deciding that they were now the sole oligarchy of most of South America and the rest of the world just shrugging their shoulders.

Hong Kong is starting to go full blown Mike Tyson.Associated Press posted:HONG KONG (AP) — A knife-wielding man slashed several people and bit off part of the ear of a pro-democracy politician in Hong Kong on Sunday, as riot police stormed several malls to thwart protesters who have been demanding government reforms for nearly five months. https://apnews.com/74137204c9d04da7b72bac4f53665a4c

At surface take is have sided with the guy who bit the ear off of his local councilman but then apparently that guy said something as stupid as “Hong Kong belongs to China?” Why would you go so far to fight people and bite ears if you’re in support of the coming fascist oppression?

Statement B: The only people who will see tax increases are billionaires. To arrive at the imagined Statement C, "Everyone who is not a billionaire is middle-class" requires a leap of logic so tortured that it spent most of the bush administration imprisoned at a CIA black site in Kazakhstan.
