About this Quote

Robert Scheer's quote suggests that college students are not being taught about contemporary history and the contemporary presidency. This suggests that university student are not being effectively prepared to comprehend the existing political climate and the occasions that have actually formed it.

Whatever the reason, it is clear that college students are not getting the education they require to comprehend the modern world.
