Real encouraging, and proof of what the politically correct ultra liberal agenda driven school courses over the past forty years have given us.
12 out of 12, although I admit that I had to guess on two of the questions.

This is less about education and more about being informed. My sixth-grade-educated dad taught me to be informed about local, national and world events. My elementary-school-teacher mom reinforced it. My wife and I passed that along to our children. Even though my sons were educated in "politically correct ultra liberal agenda driven school[s]" they are both very well informed individuals and voters.
