All of us saw how poorly the younger generation was being prepared in the civic sense, but none of us had the ability to do more than educate our own children. It hasn't improved since then, for two reasons:Unless that improves, or calamity ensues, I don't see much changing.
- Republicans hate spending money on anything, so the schools are poorly funded almost everywhere these days
- The less aware are easily manipulated, and that plays well for the plutocrats who pay all the bills.
I do foresee calamity ensuing. It will take time.
That this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish from the earth.
