House GOP eases Cuba embargo with limited food sales

Colleges face backlash as history knowledge falls short
Washington lawmakers cite a University of Connecticut study showing nearly 80 percent of seniors at top colleges scored a D or F on a high school level history test. They propose boosting American history requirements from K through college, noting gaps in knowledge of Jefferson, Madison, and the Constitution alongside strong recall of popular culture. Senator Lieberman warned the nation risks losing its understanding of liberty.
