Letter: Too many citizens ignorant of founding documents

I read that the Seattle School District realizes how woefully lacking students are of the Bill of Rights, how laws are passed and how government is supposed to operate at the federal, state and local level. Most U.S. citizens fall under that category. One only has to listen to the comments by people on the street when a news person asks questions regarding these subjects to be convinced of this lack.

It’s too late! America is past turning around when too many of her citizens are ignorant of our founding documents and system of government and have formed their own opinions.

It’s really stupid to require some knowledge of these things for potential citizenship and not be mandatory in the public schools for a passing grade. However, it should have always been taught in the schools as it was meant to be from the founding and not as the liberals have unconstitutionally changed the meanings.

If all citizens were rooted and grounded in these things, the legislators, presidents and Supreme Court would have been prevented from destroying this once great country. And there would be far less liberals in America.
