A faux email recently made the rounds alleging a false attribution but it illustrates perfectly what I feel is America's greatest problem-ignorance.
"The danger to America is not Barack Obama, but a citizenry capable of entrusting a man like him with the Presidency. It will be far easier to limit and undo the follies of an Obama presidency than to restore the necessary common sense and good judgment to a depraved electorate willing to have such a man for their president. "
In 2009, I wrote a column for the Irish American USA newspaper titled 'Are You Smarter Than A Fifth Columnist?"
In the article I quoted from former FBI agent Dr. Cleon Skousen's book The Naked Communist and listed a few of the 45 goals he claimed were part of the Communist Manifesto.
I did not include number 17---
"Get control of the schools.
Use them as transmission belts for socialism and current Communist propaganda.
Soften the curriculum.
Get control of teachers' associations.
Put the party line in textbooks."
Is that where Common Core originated?...
