College Students Don't Think America is Exceptional

What, if anything, are American students learning about our nation’s exceptional history in their classrooms and on their campuses?

This semester, YAF asked a variety of students at George Washington University one simple question: Do you believe America is exceptional?

Multiple students noted the role their education has played in changing their attitudes on the subject, a testament to damage done by higher education systems dominated by leftist faculty and administrators.

Their answers, as can be seen in the video below, should concern patriotic Americans from coast to coast.

Who cares what these spoiled little cupcakes think. Parents need to stop paying for these indoctrination centers.

That's because college professors preach about how America isn't. Is this new news? It's been going on since the mid-Sixties. Why? Because people like Eschbach allow this BS to continue on college campuses. Quit donating to colleges that do not promote America along with other countries. Checkbooks are the only stats that cause this garbage to cease.

The agenda is to merge Amerikans into a global government / economy.
In order to start the process, the Amerikans must be convinced they are ordinary.

I think it is working splendidly.

After harping on these kids from pre-K on up that they're all special, we're now left in a vacuum where they realize that everybody's "specialness" isn't something to celebrate, and that being "special" isn't all that special.

Blah blah blah, "lefties this", "commies that". The fact is I see some of the most uninformed opinions being spouted every day from the people oneed the right and left. The ones that know the least seem to be the ones who scream the loudest. The 2 likely presidential candidates do nothing but spout nonsense that thesession same uninformed individuals soak up like a sponge. Has nothing to do wit has politics because both sides have shown a clear disrespect for truth and facts.

We aren't exceptional! We act as if we're the best country ever and we're the only ones with freedo!

3:32 - Remove the United States at some point before WW1 and consider what history would look like. We are absolutely exceptional (at least before obama) and that is much different that acting like we are the best or the only free country.

Some people really should write the post, wait, and then review before submitting.

And if you do not feel we are exceptional feel free to get a pass port and get out!!

We're not exceptional. I can't believe I'm seeing people condemning an education. If you want to continue to live in a bubble and that everything you see on Fox news is true then go for it....the rest of us are going to broaden our horizons.

He's right we need to start fighting back with checkbooks and cash as the New World Order unfolds before our eyes. This is why public schools are a dangerous place, as well as many universities.They continue to Foster and nurture the left Progressive marxist communist ideals, trample God. Over capitalism entrepreneurship, leadership, faith and a sense of pride in this country that is so great. Educate yourself and read the hidden dangers of the rainbow you will see how deep,how far, and wide these evil intrusion into every aspect of Our Lives is all for the glory of Satan.

All that education and these waifs don't even know what the Constitution is or the Declaration of Independence either. And they have probably never even heard of the Federalist Papers!

Starting life at 22 years old in total ignorance.

3:50 refer to 3:42. I do not condemn education, but I do condemn indoctrination and it is sad you do not see the difference. So please! Please broaden your horizon all the way to another country that needs your kind of "education."

You can't broaden your horizons in a one sided indoctrination center.

Stop telling other people to leave the Country of their birth.

Stop it.

You don't have to agree with others, but you may not dictate their existence.
I will defend them.

646 can you leave the country please.

Most college students can't tell you who won the civil war, the year we landed on the moon, or who is VP. But ask about the Kardashin trash and they know.

Thanks to our wonderful public/government schools who have taught these mushminds and their mushmind parents for the past many years.

I would love to take a few of theses cupcakes with me to my wife's country. No running water, constant heat/humidity, sporadic electric, limited food, no real rights, forget transportation, etc. Give these cupcakes to me for just a week and i can have them saluting the American flag once a morning and twice on Sundays.

Bunch of ungrateful mules if you as me.
