Historical revisionist Sarah Palin is not alone in her inability to answer basic questions about our nation's past: American students don't know squat, either! 82% of high school seniors failed to demonstrate "proficiency" on a national history exam, a 1% uptick in number of students who couldn't pass the previous test in 2006. Keep at it, America! At this rate, by 2060, graduating high school students will no longer even know the past exists. (We think. America failed to teach us math, too.)

It seems like she could&#039;ve at least came up with Plessy v. Ferguson or the Dred Scott case, since school kids get those drilled into them, so she&#039;s either a total numb-skull or REALLY didn&#039;t want to piss off the state-rights crowd.

The federal accountability law, the advocates say, has given schools and teachers an incentive to spend less time on history and other subjects.</i>
well...at least your handle is accurate - No man.
Is that All?

Shorter still: I can name one single Supreme Court decision.

Straight up? I do miss the kids. I even have a fair number of former students on facebook. Parents? Meh.
But administrators? Fuck them...fuck them all.
More like well marbled.
The One? You mean $arah? Yeah, her &#039;tards worship the fuck out of her. Just ask Todd.

Wait, so in a few years, we&#039;ll have forgotten that the last decade even existed? I&#039;m having a hard time seeing the downside here.
