Stupidity in America?

I hear a lot of people talking about problems with education in America, with Americans being misinformed or stupid, etc. I have also heard many ideas to try and solve this problem. Some people say there should be more American History classes in school, some people advocate Voucher programs, and still some say we should just increase funding. Others say things are fine as they are. What do you think? Here's a video that should bring about some interesting discussion that I found on youtube. I hope you all enjoy it, and I'd like to hear what your reaction(s) are.

Please refrain from posting until you have at least seen the video.

Yeah, lets not spend as much time educating kids on things like the Constitution/Bill of Rights... I mean, it isn't knowledge that we'd want every child to have before he votes, right?

History classes are important for obvious reasons.  Why the fuck is learning spanish more important than learning American fucking history? We need to teach kids American history so they learn about our culture/heritage and won't make similar mistakes as others made in the past due to ignorance of history.  History should, if anything, be a priority.  You should have to demonstrate adequate knowledge of American history before you are allowed to vote.  After you have a law like that in place, go ahead and cut history classes, but until then we need them - bad.
