When we allowed Texas to determine what's in the school books. This was decades in the making.
Watch when Jimmy Kimmel goes to Hollywood Blvd and asks the most basic questions about people, politics or geography.
Most don't know the basics.
Canadians, Europeans and even Mexicans know more about America. We really quit trying and it shows.
There is no American pride. Shouting USA makes you a showoff and it means nothing except "In your face!"
We are the Ugly Americans. It starts in school,
America really needs DEI. Call it human relations like they used to. We have no class. We are the bullies.
Manners and courtesy are missing also. Look at chump. Or not.
