Young Americans are stunningly ignorant of the tragic history of Communism. A new study found that millennials and the youngest generation (Generation Z) are unfamiliar with past Communist leaders, underestimate the number of people killed under Communism, and support the collectivist ideas of Bernie Sanders. Terrifyingly, almost a third of millennials think more people were killed under President George W. Bush than under Soviet dictator Joseph Stalin.
"One of the concerns the Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation has had since its establishment is that an emerging generation of Americans have little understanding of the collectivist system and its dark history,"declared Marion Smith, executive director of the organization, which sponsored the report on U.S. attitudes toward socialism.
"Unfortunately, this Report, which we intend to release on an annual basis, confirms this worrisome impression," Smith concluded.

This generation is, without question or doubt, THE dumbest, stupidest, least informed group of people I've ever seen.
I've talked to foreign exchange students who knew more American history than their American counterparts.
They don't know some of the most BASIC facts of our history, yet they arrogantly lecture the rest of us as if they know so much more than we do.
Don't think so?
Start asking them questions.
obama is the only President they can name and HE is the greatest of all presidents (although they couldn't name five more, even with hints).
What did he do that was so great?
They can't answer that either. He was just "great".
Keep cheering.
When the decision was made by boards of education to downgrade the requirement to teach world history and American history, students didn’t learn the history needed to be a well-informed American citizens. Ignorance is not bliss.
10:17 Thats because they are too busy re-writing history. Thats what communist do
Returned to my old private high school reunion and headmaster stated: 15 yo boys have no clue who they are ,what they are doing or what they want to do. There is no structure in their lives. Not an encouraging word.
ECI needs to lower it's hiring standard to the same level that Bush established for military enlistees.
When are the people and parents of this nation going to remove the liberals, that want the curriculum to reflect only their ideas, that control the education system in this country and replace them with instructors that want to teach our students the truth of history?
As if we need anymore proof of the dumbed down US public "education" system. I really feel for parents who can't afford to send their bright children to a REAL higher institute of learning. Used toilet paper has more value then a degree from a public college or U.
Deliberate dumbing down of American Society.
Don't blame the young people.
Find out WHO financed the destruction of the education system.
They are international banking families.
Wake up folks.
Learn WHO finances the campaigns and blackmails the politicians.
