Apparently a shocking number of Americans don’t know anything about the Holocaust.
A recent survey making the rounds found that 22 percent of young Americans have no clue what the holocaust was.
Which is scary, especially when one considers that latest push among high school, college, and recent graduates to chip away at free speech and second amendment rights.
Any student of history can explain in rather simple terms that the Bill of Rights exists to protect individuals from government overreach. It is a bill of rights, not a bill of government granted privileges. The legitimacy of the government lies in the consent of the governed…at least that’s the way Thomas Jefferson and Co wanted it to be way back when they figured this whole thing out — something about a government by the people, for the people. So it’s disconcerting to see young people asking ‘why don’t we erode some of those rights’ while admitting that they lack a keen understanding of the consequences of forfeiting their rights.
I could write more about all this, but tell ya what, why don’t ya checkout the tasty video up top instead.
