Glenn Beck just aired a segment on his program in which a sidewalk reporter questioned about twenty students at the University of California at Berkeley. On the sun-bleached concrete pathways lacing through this venue of ‘higher learning’, touted to be among the ‘most progressive and free-thinking’ of all college campuses, we were shown consecutive examples of ‘the learned’ of the next generation destined to run this sacred nation. My heart sank in my bosom upon the realization that few, if any, of these beautiful young people, with their entire lives ahead of them, knew anything significant about the real history of America or, for that matter, seemed to care anything about the former heads of our beloved homeland who had fashioned and formed their own republic. It seems that gone are the days when memorizing all the Presidents and annually recreating the historical emergence of this land had a prominent place in the classroom. They have been replaced by a more mindless role of social agenda and of meaningless new age tripe designed with conspiratory guile to lead away thinking minds from the midst of our youth all the while weakening precious blocks of historical foundation and support upon which our future depends. Educational enlightenment, the last bastion of freedom, is absent from the young and now looms as the undoing of us all.
