“Teach our kids how to run our country, before they are called upon to run our country…if we don’t, someone else will run our country.” ~ Richard Dreyfuss
"America has been known as a political miracle, and is now the country to be emulated for its freedoms, and the only ones who don't know that are our children because we don't teach it anymore." ~ Richard Dreyfuss

One Thought Scares Me...
We Have Some
Questions for You:
Why did we remove from our public schools the subject of civics?
Why have we made it impossible to give our children even a glimpse of how to run the government before it's their turn to run the government?
Why have we kept all this completely unknowable by our progeny for the last 50 years?
Why have we refused even to discuss this discard?
Why did we do this inarguably stupid thing, which the experience of the last 50 years has already told us is as close to a guarantee of chaos as one can get, and continue to do it, even as you read this page?
