Poll: More Americans Think Founders Would Consider U.S. a Failure Than a Success, Worse Now Than Under Trump
A new finds that only about 1 in 3 Americans believe the Founding Fathers would consider the nation they founded to be a success on this Fourth of July weekend, 245 year later.
In fact, 41% believe the Founders would consider the nation a failure.
In the annual Fourth of July poll from Rasmussen, asked whether the Founding Fathers would consider the United States as it is today to be a success or failure, only 34% of adults answered that it would be considered a success by the likes of George Washington, Alexander Hamilton, and Thomas Jefferson.
A year ago, during President Donald Trump‘s last year in office and as a pandemic was underway, the result was 6 points higher, at 40% who said the Founders would consider the nation a success.
Rasmussen notes that the 41% is still down from a high in 2013 of a stunning 49% who selected “failure” in 2013. (During Obama's 2nd term)

Sadly, IMO, the failures we are seeing are from public education, public....

I would agree with you billb. When I was in High School and College, rarely did I have a teacher or professor who would push their politics.

Same here, I remember once in JR HS a far-out teacher who was very groovy lady took us on a field trip to see TOMMY at the Cinerama Dome in Anaheim. I always remember here as being younger and more like the hippie kids of many of our friends older brothers and sisters, we just knew she had a different look at life. She preached a lotta love, peace but it never seemed political. And get this her name was Miss Spiritus! Pinball Wizard at the Dome mid 70's, awesome!

America’s Largest Teachers’ Union Votes to Help Members ‘Fight Back Against Anti-CRT Rhetoric’ The largest labor and teachers’ union has voted to spread and further the teaching of the quasi-Marxist critical race theory (CRT), which it describes as a “reasonable” and “appropriate” framework for students to understand and interpret America’s past and present. The National Education Association (NEA), which represents more than 3 million employees in public education, on June 30 kicked off its 100th Representative Assembly. During the four-day online convention, the union adopted a measure that would commit at least $127,600 to advance its pro-CRT agenda. www.theepochtimes.com/largest-teachers-union-votes-to-help-members-fight-back-against-anti-crt-rhetoric_3886261.html?utm_source=sharenewsnoe

So each member contributed about 4 cents to the advancement of CRT. Wow! Now that's what I call commitment.
