Public Education Win: One Person in Three Cannot Name Even One Branch of the Federal Government

by

constitutionThe Annenberg Policy Center, which may even be complicit, reports that at least a Third of American’s can’t even name one branch of the Federal Government. (Not Unexpectedly?)

The political expression of this ignorance is easy to find.

Here was U.S. Sen. Chuck Schumer, who served in the House of Representatives from 1981 to 1999 and who is currently the Senate minority leader, speaking back in 2011:

“You know, we have three branches of government: we have a House, we have a Senate, we have a president.”

The ignorance isn’t limited to not understanding the division Federal of power to secure a limited government. Misunderstandings abound.

So the question is, did “Public Education” do its job or not? I think they did.
