While this is an issue, it's indicative of a larger problem. That's simply that a lot of people have no knowledge of, or respect for, the Constitution of the US.
It's simply not taught any longer in most schools, especially in liberal locations. What is taught is usually in the guise of how the Constitution is a worn out and outdated document that fails society at large.
That's exactly right. They teach kids that America is a fundamentally flawed country, broken from its inception, with a sordid history of genocide, robber barons, slave drivers, oppression and inequality i.e., exactly what the Communists used to teach kids about America. They imbue the kids with a sense of outrage. The kids then go out into the world with this idea that they have to "fix" America.
We had two girls go through public school, the last one graduating in 2017. I saw the homework assignments and I read the papers. They learned nothing about American History, or the Constitution.
