The full Tennessee State Senate will consider a bill that requires high school students to be taught the virtues of capitalism and the constitutional republic form of government.
The Tennessee State House of Representatives passed the House version of the bill on March 28, 68-21.
In my high school days in Georgia in the late 50's, you either had to take courses to cover the Georgia state constitution and history or take exams to graduate. Same for the U.S.As far as I know, most schools had required courses to cover this.
ReplyDeleteToo little, too late. I fear our fate is sealed.
ReplyDeleteThe commie teachers and administrators will ignore those laws just like any passed to prevent CRT.
ReplyDeleteThe sad part is that this is even necessary...
ReplyDeleteUntil the diploma requires you pass a state-level proficiency test, you have a token. The State of Kansas has a curriculum requirement for US History and Government to graduate high school. If the teacher is more interested in sports/coaching than teaching the subject, the students, parents and country lose out.
ReplyDeleteMan “virtues” sounds a little culty to me. How about less government requirements all around.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely a step in the right direction. If you are not part of the solution you are part of the problem
ReplyDeleteIn my HS, we had to take Government & Economics with a passing grade in order to take drivers Ed. & get a drivers license by the end of sophomore year.
ReplyDeleteSeems it was a pretty good leverage.
One should have had classes like these, AND pass the same exam as legal resident aliens have to pass for citizenship, before registering to vote.
