I suspect that she was educated in the No Child Left Behind era. Reading and math were emphasized and civics/history was deemphasized.

I say that because racism was never put in words [...] in the Constitution,

Has she ever seen this part? Is it fake news???

“Irish people were slaves too so that isn’t racist.”

[Suranis]

Irish people were indentured servants for a set number of years, not slaves. Not in America at least.

But since we are on the subject, Native Americans were used as slaves, both pre-European settlement between the tribes and later by the Europeans.

The Virginia General Assembly defined some terms of slavery in 1705:[19]

All servants imported and brought into the Country ... who were not Christians in their native Country ... shall be accounted and be slaves. All Negro, mulatto and Indian slaves within this dominion ... shall be held to be real estate. If any slave resists his master ... correcting such slave, and shall happen to be killed in such correction ... the master shall be free of all punishment ... as if such accident never happened.

The Native American slave trade had largely died out by 1750, however. It's interesting reading.

"teach to the test"

While I agree with how schools were pushed to teach to the test, I am not ready to blame schools for lack of teaching. Over the last 10 years, I have watched attorneys who passed law school (some in some rather high-level law schools), passed the bar, and then practiced for decades, and yet, they seem completely unable to understand basic legal concepts as shown in their court filings.

I don't think the issue is how much they were taught, or even how much they bothered to actually learn. The issue is, they don't care what they may have learned earlier. They want what they want and historical facts are of no concern. They also know their audience doesn't care either.

YouTube Deletes All Copies of President Trump’s CPAC Speech, Suspends RSBN for Two Weeks
By Kristinn Taylor Published March 4, 2021 at 12:21pm

YouTube has deleted all copies of President Trump’s speech to CPAC given last Sunday in Orlando and has suspended the account of Right Side Broadcasting Network for two weeks as apparent punishment for live streaming the speech in which Trump reiterated his belief the 2020 presidential election was stolen from him.

YouTube took down videos from mainstream outlets including the U.K. Independent which had over one million views as well as Fox, Fox Business, ABC News and the U.K. Sun. A search of YouTube that earlier this week showed several channels with archived live streams of the speech now shows all archived live streams have been taken down.

Trump’s speech was wildly popular, with upward of over 30 million streaming views across several platforms being reported. CNN reported about 5.8 million viewers watched the speech on cable TV’s Fox News Channel and another 1.5 million watched on Newsmax, making Trump’s speech the most watched on all of cable for February and besting the Golden Globes awards show on broadcast over the air on NBC later Sunday that was watched by 6.9 million viewers.

TGP reported Monday on some of the view counts of Trump’s speech on YouTube: Right Side Broadcasting 3.7 million; The Independent 1,000,000; The Hill 906,000; Reuters: 902,000; News Now 818,000; ABC Australia 352,000; SKY News 222,000; ABC News 208,000;FOX 35 Orlando 50,000.

RSBN announced the suspension Thursday, noting they had foretold the action by YouTube after they ran Trump’s speech on Sunday, “President Trump talked about election fraud. That’s a big no-no on some platforms we stream to. We try to play by the rules, but we will not censor President Trump. We’re not going to remove or edit this video. Just so we’re all clear- if it gets removed, we didn’t do it.”

Update: YouTube removed the CPAC Trump speech and suspended us for two weeks. https://t.co/nyh2vCOHVJ

And now there's one in Dallas. If anyone wants to see what kind of crap they're spewing - https://twitter.com/CPAC

Jr: I totally understand addiction. It’s terrible. We all know people that have suffered from it. It doesn’t absolve from being a total piece of garbage in every other aspect of your life… It doesn’t absolve you from selling out your country

[Kendra]

This clip of Rep. Mo Brooks lying about the 2020 election at CPAC Dallas shows how Trumpers are just as radical as they were on January 6. These lies will be central to their campaigns in 2022 and beyond.

[sad-cafe]

didn't they just have one?

The big CPAC party tonight is “AMERIPALOOZA,” where for around 100$, you can bowl and party with the likes of Rep. Ronny Jackson and far-right Rep. Lauren Boebert.

My impression is that many Republicans have a limited knowledge about history.

So I watched the clip, and he says "not the British, but for survival" after the "fought at Valley Forge" part...
