And why, I have relentlesly asked, did the Democrats not expell them under the 14th/sec.3 when they held the majority in both houses? Section three is self executing and no 2/3 majority is needed. Read the new Amicus Brief by David W. Blight and Gains M. Foster et al to SCOTUS en re Trump's culpability in the Colorado disqualification case. 37 pages of simple pure thinking upon reading the history documented in Congressional Record as the 14th amendment was being drafted.
We need new public school curriculum. High schoolers can understand details like this. It would make better voters of them. Meanwhile departments of education nationwide need money and recruits who can teach (and be paid appropriate salaries when they take their teaching certificates to public schools) American history and civics at appropriate levels from from 10 years forward, which will prepare students to vote at 18. We need an informed citizenry if we are to continue as a democracy.
I understand. I grew up in an educator family, BA in secondary education. Watched Ronnie Raygun send Max Raferty in to dumb down California public education because they realied, after the Free Speech Movement, that no educated people would ever vote for Repugs. It's been on going ever since. They are taking down the best educational system in the world that built the strongest economy in the world for power only .
Thank you for that. I learned much earlier from a newspaper article (1952) handed me by a professor in my college art department that the lowest scorers on the SATs in 1952 were getting teaching certificates. Someone responded the last time I wrote that account that 15 years later the department where he got his degree in “education” was an endless multiple choice testing place. Who was Reagan’s Secretary of Education? From his WWII career making propaganda films to his farm labor beating governorship, to his Iran-Contra presidency, not surprised at what he did to the glorious CA school system. When do we get free undergraduate school nationally (France has that) for those who want it?

The intent is abuntantly clear.
Yes! We’re learning the Constitution!
That's for sure. We were never told about the details.
