I believe it is a direct result of years Republican attacks and niggardly funding of public education coming home to roost. The more ignorant the population is, the more likely they are to fall for the Republican line. I am not Jewish and we had conversations with our children about the holocaust in particular, and the persecution of Jews in general.

Our public schools need less sports and more history and parents need to get their faces out of their mobile devices.
