Dumb and Dumber? What Are College Kids Learning About Our Country?
Dumb and Dumber? What Are College Kids Learning About Our Country?
If college graduates aren’t learning about concrete aspects of the American republic, what else might they be picking-up “civics-wise” while on campus? The Intercollegiate Studies Institute (ISI) released its fourth annual national Civic Literacy report today called "The Shaping of the American Mind: The Diverging Influences of the College Degree & Civic Learning on American Beliefs." In past studies, ISI has broken new ground by demonstrating empirically the failures of colleges and universities to effectively teach their graduates the fundamentals of American history, government, foreign affairs, and economics. http://www.foxnews.com/opinion/2010/...ege-education/ |
