"Retired Justice Sandra Day O'Connor, in Boise, laments 'alarming degree of public ignorance'"
It's heartening to has a person of stature say it publicly...
This was reported recently by Katie Terhune at McClatchydc.com:
"O'CONNOR ON CIVICS 'The more I read and the more I listen, the more apparent it is that our society suffers from an alarming degree of public ignorance,' O'Connor said. That ignorance starts in the earliest years of a child's schooling, she said, but often continues all the way through college and graduate school. O'Connor argued that learning about citizenship is just as important for American children as learning multiplication or how to write their names."
