::The time devoted to civic education in American public schools began to significantly decline in the 1960s.[https://oconnorinstitute.org/research/research2024/#:~:text=The%20time%20spent%20in%20schools,civics%20than%20previous%20American%20generations.] And before that, ethics/religion and discipline was removed from school and liberal/leftist indoctrination poured into public schools and not enough school choice being offered (Vouchers, etc.).
::As result, we have gotten a TON of lawfare and civil rights abuses against Trump via the Justice Department, FBI, CIA and Democrats plus SCOTUS judges threatened by angry mobs. In addition, the world rankings of the American school system at the primary and high school level has gone down.
::Now while Trump is merely a fraction of authoritarian tendencies/leaning than Biden/Harris and other left leaning Democrats, he has his problems too as can be seen at: [https://www.politico.com/news/2022/12/05/trump-terminate-constitution-00072230 Trump denies he suggested ‘termination’ of Constitution, without deleting post], Politico, 2022 and [https://www.texastribune.org/2022/12/06/ted-cruz-john-cornyn-trump-constitution/ Cruz: “Of course” Trump was wrong to call for terminating Constitution], Texas Tribune, 2022 and [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r3QXrQDTDYo Donald Trump: 'When somebody is president of the United States, the authority is total'], video (During the pandemic).
::But our Founding Fathers foresaw this problem and that is why we have separation of powers and federalism (state rights). So it very hard for authoritarians to gain as much power as they would wish.
::I hope Republicans/Trump does a better job of pushing school choice so civics/ethics/religion is taught more. Because that is a big root of the problem. [[User:Conservative|Conservative]] ([[User talk:Conservative|talk]]) 11:04, October 23, 2024 (EDT)
