Sacrificed on the Altar Of Globalism?
Lou Dobbs Tonight -- CNN -- July 4   

Prof. Jim Ceaser, U of Va.: There's apprehension, too, about the debt of current division with 80 percent of Americans registering concern about the amount of division between ethnic and cultural groups in the United States.

Tucker: Sixty three percent of Americans believe our identity is weakening. Twenty four percent believe we're so divided that a common identity not possible. The report lays the blame on our failure to teach and understand our own history, noting America is not a nation founded on a common ethnicity but an idea. And ideas must be actively carried forward noting, "Knowing what America stands for is not a genetic inheritance. It must be learned both by the next generation and by those who come to this country."

To nurture and develop our sense of ourselves as Americans, the report makes a series of recommendations, because as the study's authors make clear, many Americans are historically illiterate pointing in one example to a question to a survey of fifth graders.

James Rees, Exec Dir., Mount Vernon: Only seven of 100 could explain why the date of July 4, 1776 is a significant one.

Tucker: The loss of our identity is not merely an academic issue, note the authors, national identity, citizenship is the seat of governance. And we seem to be a nation torn between nationality and globalization.
