Bring back civics class. #FuckTrump #FuckEnablers
"Civics was a class that used to be required before you could graduate from high school. You were taught what was in the Constitution.

After the student rebellions in the 60s, civics was banished from the curriculum and was replaced by something called social studies. Here we live in a country that has a fabulous constitution and all these guarantees, a contract between the citizens and the gov't - nobody knows what's in it...

And so, if you don't know what your rights are, how can you stand up for them? And furthermore, if you don't know what's in the document, how can you care if someone is shredding it?"

- Frank Zappa

"Lower general cognitive ability or IQ in childhood or youth predicts greater overt prejudice and racism in adulthood, an effect largely mediated by the endorsement of right-wing or socially conservative ideologies and lower exposure to out-groups."

Is Racism Just a Form of Stupidity?
I think that a lot of us are shying away from an obvious truth, that the kind of blatant racial prejudice we are witnessing in Ferguson, Missouri, has everything to do with stupidity.I'm talking about...
