I know that the Civics Teacher at a school that I taught at butchered the Constitution's content. When questioned, he stated that they would get a more accurate coverage in college. The problem with that was probably more than three quarters were either uninterested in even high school subjects, or never attend any college, junior or four year; meaning his over simplification or out right inaccurate comments are all that they would ever hear. I saw the same thing with history classes.

@huey.r.ruckus That applies to those here legally perhaps, but many of the students in the high school were in taught at were probably illegals. One was a student from Mexico who was 18, whose education ended at the sixth grade in Mexico and began again as a 16 year old freshman here because he was too old to start at the grade appropriate to his education level.

@marylamb7707 They are absolutely correct; however this nation is the United States of America if you use its full name. Yes, it is technically correct not to say America, but that is how generations have referred to it. I suspect that you have done the same m e at one time or another.

@huey.r.ruckus I agree, but I have a fairly wide exposure to legal and illegal immigrants, and as a group legals have a better understanding. However, the illegals flooding into the US c an not be said to be the same. From my experience many (possibly) most illegals are only semi knowledgeable on their own history and have limited ability to interact in English and often none in written English. California a few years ago had their state form in 57 different languages and provided interpreters for each (it was unclear if these were on-call contractors, volunteers or employees). Think of the cost of that, and the potential for fraud and abuse.

@huey.r.ruckus I am just implying that you are taking a limited sample and applying it broadly. My wife graduated college in her native country and came here post graduate, through her I have met any people who have come here; in the service I knew many of my people who had foreign born wives, out of the service I have worked alongside foreign born US citizens, and when I taught high school for a few years I met many foreign born students both legal and illegal. Yes, I have an issue with illegals based on my experience, and even legal immigrants may have issues depending on their country of origin. A woman from many of the Southeast Asian countries may be virtually illiterate in her written native language and very limited schooling (I saw that on active duty, where I tried to help deal with INS issues); in high school, I saw students dropped into classes that they were ill prepared for due to age (often unable to read material in their native language) whose parent's language skills were even more limited in many cases. On the other end of the scale, most of the legal immigrants who were educated when they came here can adapt well. Whether they understand the principles of our Constitution and Government depends on their desire to understand them and how they view learning (in some countries, such things are really the concern of most people). So, we will have very different perceptions based on our experiences. So yes, you can say in your expetience; but I have to point out that your experience may be an exception that many of us will dispute.

@dougkennedy4906 If that was the case, that instructor violated all the rules that I have seen: where I taught, where my grandchildren attended, my children attended or many years ago I arrended. Everywhere passing was required, the scores may have varied somewhat; but 9nly passing. I would love to have seen exactly what he taught.

DC was meant to be a non-political area, and was to prevent a state or local jurisdiction controlling the seat of the National Government. Illegals, shouldn't be here, soon rights exist for them.
