    It is really concerning that college age students do not know what the State of The Union Address is !!!
    What happened to government class for heaven’s sake. I do understand why they might not watch it. I watched very few of them when I was young either but I am a little distressed about the lack of knowledge. The remark by Mr DeSilva about the great division in this country is true but actually it is far more divisive now than during the Vietnam war. The great majority of the nation all wanted the war to be over but we also by a great majority supported our troops completely. Yes their were protest and they made a lot of news but the protesters were actually just a loud minority of the people. I am not suggesting that protesting was wrong simply that is was not a large number of the population. I do not ever remember one protest here in Wichita Falls and few in Texas. Sadly I think you would have to go back to the Civil War to find the division we have now.
