Horrifying that @SpecialReport @BretBaier had tweets asking who Neville Chamberlain was. Do US schools not teach about him?

Sally M (@proverbial_one) January 22, 2013In his analysis of President Obama’s inauguration speech, Fox News’ Bret Baier was surprised that more attention wasn’t paid to what he thought was a familiar phrase: “peace in our time.”
And we must be a source of hope to the poor, the sick, the marginalized, the victims of prejudice – not out of mere charity, but because peace in our time requires the constant advance of those principles that our common creed describes: tolerance and opportunity; human dignity and justice.
Even more surprising than the lifting of a line from Neville Chamberlain, though, was a tweet to Baier asking, who’s Neville Chamberlain?
FNC viewers tweet @SpecialReport host @BretBaier the question – who is Neville Chamberlain. I weep for my country.—

Baier’s response? Google it.
A LoFo voter just Tweeted Bret Baier "Who was Neville Chamberlain?"
Bret politely answered then asked, "If you can Tweet, can't you Google?"—

@BretBaier what is google?—

@BretBaier Those who asked about Chamberlain instead of googling him, are the same people that want government free stuff.—

@BretBaier People asking ‘who is Neville Chamberlain’ is case in point that History curriculum is seriously lacking today.—

@BretBaier Some one really asked "Who is Neville Chamberlain"..??? We are deeper trouble than I thought.—

So, which is more troubling? That Americans don’t know who Neville Chamberlain was, or that the president chose him to quote in his inaugural address?
@BretBaier perhaps "peace in our time" was a Freudian slip. Obama WILL go down as the Neville Chamberlain of our time. #tcot—

Terrified that so many people don't seem to know about Neville Chamberlain & his devastating policy of appeasement @BretBaier—

On the bright side, Chamberlain's policy of appeasement vindicated Churchill & brought forth one of Britain's greatest PM's @BretBaier—
