I have 15 kids in one of my karate classes ranging in age from 7-12. Not a single one could tell me what we celebrate on july 4th. Some responses:
Fathers day
Statue of liberty being born
First day of Summer
The flag
Fireworks
Civil war
About a month ago we were discussing how karate came to the us after ww2. Not one single student knew who we fought in ww2. None knew about pearl harbor. None knew the us had dropped an atom bomb on japan.
Meanwhile Every single one knows who kim kardashian is and knows how to do the floss dance
It's not just kids. Every year on the 4th, National Public Radio tweets the full text of the Declaration of Independence. And every year, without fail, some doofus angrily responds with something about treason, taxpayer-funded propaganda, or similar ignorance. It really is remarkable.I have 15 kids in one of my karate classes ranging in age from 7-12. Not a single one could tell me what we celebrate on july 4th. Some responses:
