If you think that a majority of people in America have a decent grasp on the historical events that have gotten us to this point, well…I’m very sorry to have to disappoint you on that topic.
We all took those history classes in school, but if your education was anything like mine, a disturbing number of them were taught by coaches who couldn’t have cared less.
