Indeed

I don’t mean to sound ignorant with this question. It’s an honest one. Is Civics really not a graduation requirement for high school around the US? I ask because I’m 53 and it was definitely required by both the school district AND my parents. It does answer several questions I have about the lack of government operations knowledge being shown by the crop of graduates over the last 20 years. If that’s the case, heaven help us.

@@iseeyou8781 Few and far between, meaning 5% the most require it! It will make better citizens, police officers and politicians

@@tommytube268 I agree with you 100%. I didn’t know it had fallen that far by the wayside.

@@iseeyou8781 Not anymore, gender studies is the most important, then it would be pronouns.

No "courage".

Amen. What a bright young person. Props to her and her parents... 🗽🇺🇸

@@jamesparker1071 because she was educated by homeschooling.

They truely doing a great job.

You said the operative word: GOD

You mean indoctrination don’t you? How is teaching a belief system within the context of required subjects not indoctrination?

@@CrowdJusticeUSohhhhhh please look at public schools now, kids don’t know math, I work with 8th graders, and ohhhh lord ,,,, some of these kids are in 4th grade math ,,,, 🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️

​​@@CrowdJusticeUSTechnically none of this means anything but human X passed Y grade in Z school system. Critical thinking ability and using it in your daily life thus also modeling classes after it would be most beneficial later in life for a developing brain. Human X doing 10 years in college vs Human Y doing 0 years in college does not give us a scientifically certain end result of what either humans success level monetarily WILL BE in life for 100% sure. Can a person will little or no college make more monetarily in their life then the other human? YES, also vice versa. Full Disclosure: I finished in top 5% in my state in Science. The only thing that one can know for sure given that information is Human X tested in top 5% in their state in Science. That's it. There is no guarantee that my person will do better or worse than another person that would score lower or higher in this field.

@@CrowdJusticeUS None of my words stated anything about my personal choices. Failing to apply myself is a viewpoint which there is no point in retorting on as if one thinks i failed by becoming what i did then so be it. Since the topic has been switched to that, I do apply them where i can in my choice of what i wanted to do. Other factors played into the choice in what i do being more than solely aptitude based. There is elements that can apply those skillsets, granted not as many areas test that aptitude as there could be. Rewarding beyond any monetary value can give in return for another field i may have went into. Yes i still have thoughts of doing other fields. In the end it would be much more selfish in nature by comparison to where i ended up which played a big role in my decisions, which varies with each person.

It's all part of the enemys plans...

That's why he's so impressive because he left College before he could be uneducated

people give their 4 year olds phones these days.. so 13 year olds will have them for sure

She's a teenager, not a child. That's one of the problems in our country. We act like young people are children through the age of 19. Some people want to say they're not fully adults until 25 or 26, and yet those same people want to lower the voting age and allow these 'children' to have abortions with even the parents knowing about it, to have transgender surgery regardless of the parent's consent. It's abusrd.

There is a high chance that the phone belongs to one of her parents. She’s not there without them. Most, if not all, of the homeschooled 13 year old kids I currently know and have known over the years did not yet have a phone. I’m thinking she simply had her question typed into Notes on her mom’s phone. I currently have a 13 year old son and he doesn’t have a phone. My older daughters didn’t have a phone at 13 either. All homeschooled. I could be wrong but just chiming in from experience. But yes, no 13 year old should own their own phone. Nope. No way. I agree.

Unfortunately the lefties had to start indoctrinating kids first, so what’s going on is a natural response.

It matters what you define as "being a Kid" and "politics". Ought she to know how the legislative process works? Yes, and that is politics. Ought she to know what the constitution says? Yes, and that is politics. Politics is more than watching Fox News, NBC, ABC, and the New York Times, politics is more than Trump v. so-and-so, politics is how society works, and a 13 year old ought to know how society works, especially since they are just starting to get more involved and will probably be working a job somewhere within the next year or two. Being a kid entails what? Is it just constantly playing? Maybe, from ages 1-3, but once you get to about 4-6, you ought to know how to read, maybe even write. Being a kid is more than just constantly playing, be it sports, roleplaying, tag, etc. Being a kid entails learning. Politics is how society operates, therefore "being a kid" entails learning about how society operates. Hence, especially if you are 13, you ought to know politics.

She is read a prepared speech from her phone. Likely from or at least edited by her parents.

Kirk usually speaks in generalities and platitudes.

She's probably nervous, so reading a statement and question from the phone allowed her to overcome her nerves.

@@Michael-dy2lb i know why she did it , she needs to not have to use a crutch as much as possible as we all should . thinking on your feet is a skill that must be developed , that's why certain politicians have to use a teleprompter and some don't. she did well , she can do better , but only if pushed , again as we all must.

@@robertwoods3750 Not everyone is a natural public speaker. Not everyone even wants to be a public speaker. I've spoke in front of people before, and while it's nerve-wracking at first, I got better. But I was never on camera. I would be petrified to even ask a question here, knowing my grandkids could come up to me 20 years from now and ask me what I was doing asking questions.

@@Michael-dy2lb i'm not downgrading this young lady , merely making an observation that most people now a days can't function without that damn phone in their hand , gazing at it , as if it was their brain , i'm old school and it was only normal to have a conversation by just talking and saying what came into our heads , apparently not so much anymore, by your own statement you admit she was using the phone as a crutch , i'm saying she doesn't need one , it's not as if someone held a gun to her head , making her ask the question , she wanted to ask it , so i don't think there was a whole lotta fear there. got it on tape forever has it's good and bad sides , i certainly am glad that wasn't around when i grew up , kids back then were allowed to make mistakes , that's part of growing up , we didn't have to worry about it being used against us 40 yrs. later , even though we weren't so "group" conscience , we admired the loner , the individual who went his own way and did his own thing , not so much worried about what everyone thought .

@@robertwoods3750 Now you are downgrading the girl because you're saying she's using the phone as a crutch. She's 13 years old asking a question of a famous person she admires in front of hundreds of strangers. That's not a crutch. That's smart. I only wish more people would write their questions down rather than hemming and hawing their way through a question. If it helps them get through their question, it's more of an aid than a crutch. A crutch implies there's something wrong with them. And remember, people use to write notes to themselves. Public speakers would at least outline their speeches. Is that a crutch? It's not a phone.

I noticed you did not present anything Charlie said that wasn’t factual. In other words, where is your proof?

@@TheGonebald It's a rebuttal to what he said. Moron.
