Richard Dreyfuss said political partisanship and ignorance of civics has hurt the country.
"By not knowing the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, the Declaration [of Independence], by not knowing the birth tale of America, we cheat ourselves tremendously and we change the values that are so important and so unique to us. Opposing views, what other country cherishes opposing views like we do?" he asked. Only Britain, he claimed.
The actor said nasty squabbles over political identities hurt the country and went against our founding principles. "I found at a very early age, that most of the partisanship in American politics was nonsense and I've always felt that way…At the height of my partisan politics I was a Democrat or a liberal. But I wasn't really, and would never have voted a straight party ticket," Dreyfuss recalled.Earlier this year, Dreyfuss predicted there would be dire consequences in the next twenty years if education was not reformed in this area.
