Hume: Support for Socialism Among Young People Is a ‘Regrettable Commentary on Our Educational System’

RUSH EXCERPT: 

CARLSON: "Did you ever think since you cover the Cold War for a long time and in the fall of the Soviet Union, did you ever think you would see it public opinion showing that a huge number of young people prefer socialism to our system?"

HUME: "I think it is a regrettable commentary on our educational system. First of all American history isn’t taught in the way it used to be. In some cases it’s not taught at all. In American history and world history would bring students back in the day into a familiarity which have been tried through history and those that have not. Socialism and its cousin have failed virtually everywhere they’ve been tried, and Venezuela being only the most recent example. The fact that socialism seems to have an attraction for a significant number of our generation is troubling. And I think we can point the finger at the way that history and other issues are being taught in our schools and colleges for that."
