Online Public Relations Thoughts

Communications are facilitated when listeners share a common culture and understanding.  That's why this report is disturbing.  Too many students are lacking basic knowledge of American government and history.  They are maturing in an environment that needs explanation and they aren't getting it.  Worse, history textbooks in some states ignore historical facts that should be taught such as endemic racism and genocide of native peoples.  No one wins when citizens are ignorant in a democracy.  They are subject to misinformation and lies that go unchecked.  Myths become beliefs. Narrowmindedness is a result.  The future of the country is being determined in classrooms of today.  There needs to be a fix.
