Agreed. Despite what Jay Leno and Bill O'Rielly will have you believe, the younger people of every generation has been stupid. On average they are ignorant of basic politics and civics. The argument today is that the past generations had an excuse to be ignorant (no internet). But a kid shouldn't have to do independent research on basic US history and basic US politics. They should get all the info they need from their classes. Just because the new generation has technology doesn't mean we can ignore the problems of the education system without feeling guilty.
Kids should actually attend their classes, but with schools being bad as they are, it's hard to blame them for not wanting to be there.
Mr. Hanky loves you!
