The Other Deficit

November 20, 2008 · Posted in Civics 

Cal Thomas has a brilliant post at Townhall today, I have wondered out loud why there such rampant civic illiteracy in this country. He is much more kind than I am.

The money quote:

Part of it, I think, has to do with the continued embarrassment by the liberal education establishment over America and what it means to be an American. From their guilt about prosperity and our freedoms, to their opposition to “dead white males,” college professors, especially since the ’60s, have favored the trendy and quaint over the established and proven.

Click through he makes very good points.
