Civics Grade: F on Parties & the Constitution
“You just can’t have a system that is all Republican or all Democrat,” Wayne Crabb said. “There is a reason the government has been set up the way it has with both Democrats and Republicans.”

I’d like to ask Mr. Crabb to show me where in the constitution of our country or of any state that has been set up for two parties. I can’t seem to find that “check” in the document. What’s more is that many of the founders actually warned about the problems the country could face if we had a two-party system. Mr. Crabb’s comments are just one more example of the impact of an education system that is failing to teach and prepare citizens to participate effectively in our society.
