Americans may not agree on much, but we agree on Social Security.

We all pay in. It ought to be there when we need it.

Social Security could face a funding gap in less than a decade, and I don't want to see a pay cut.

I'm with AARP in the fight to protect the Social Security we earned.

Pledge to protect Social Security at AARP.org slash we earned it.

Recently, a professor of politics at Princeton wrote an op-ed pointing out how many of his students and students at other colleges simply are unfamiliar with the Ten Commandments.

He writes, quote, they lack religious literacy and their ignorance of religious ideas, means they struggle to understand a wide array of Western art, literature, and philosophy, close quote.

They also wouldn't understand a great deal of history, never mind political philosophy,

from Marx to Rousseau, or recognize lines from Shakespeare to our founding, to Frederick

Douglas, to Lincoln, to Martin Luther King, Jr. This is what the late Richard John Newhouse

worried about decades ago, an America with an increasingly naked public square, bear of any

religiosity or recognition of religious faith or culture. What Newhouse feared is now nearly complete,

when students at major universities are now illiterate

in the cornerstone of Western civilization.

Many states right now are debating,

posting the Ten Commandments in K-12 classrooms.

This wouldn't be a parochial decision.

It would rather constitute necessary, basic, and remedial education.
