re: #45 MisterCookie

Someone here (I think it was Sharmuta) attributed the recent rise of extremism in both parties to poor civics & history education. This seems to support that assertion.

I sure did. Just as dangerous, imo, as the assault on science by the theo-cons is the assault on history and civics. It’s hard to keep the Republic if we don’t understand its history nor the reasoning for its structure and function. Were we to have a better understanding of civics, the theo-cons would understand where we have a separation of Church and State.
