Santorum blames kids' poor scores on national US history test on left-wing conspiracy

[B-Fly]

Rick Santorum says he knows the real culprits behind U.S. students' terrible grasp of American history...

As always, whenever Rick Santorum opens his yap I advise that you simply do a Google search for "Santorum" and enjoy the top result.
