the witty historian

Stephen Colbert

““We are raising a generation of young Americans who are illiterate [in regards to the Constitution]. They have a very sketchy, very thin knowledge of history relating to the system that our whole civilization is based on. The civics that they don’t understand is not just regrettable, it’s dangerous…I think we are swindling many students with the illusion that they are educated and they are not. It’s regrettable, and it’s unfair and it’s unnecessary.””
