In reply to the discussion: AP Poll: 33 Percent Of Young Americans Approve Of Trump's Job Performance [View all]BigmanPigman

Americans are extremely ignorant about the govt, history, geography and world affairs. Try being a teacher. When I had elementary school students who knew more about these topics than their "educated" parents I was shocked for the first few years in the profession. When I spoke with other teachers who were more experienced they told me that this has been "the norm" for about 20 years!
