Below The Beltway

I believe in the free speech that liberals used to believe in, the economic freedom that conservatives used to believe in, and the personal freedom that America used to believe in.

The Sad State Of Education

by @ 10:57 am on January 15, 2007.

Well, this is somewhat depressing:

In a recent survey of college students on U.S. civic literacy, more than 81 percent knew that the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. was expressing hope for “racial justice and brotherhood” in his historic “I Have a Dream” speech.

That’s the good news.

Most of the rest surveyed thought King was advocating the abolition of slavery.

Hey, they’re only off by about 100 years. Not bad for products of government schools.

Meanwhile, I remember Dr. King’s legacy at The Liberty Papers
