Richard Dreyfuss on Firing Line

In conversation with Margaret Hoover, the famous Hollywood actor shares his views on the current climate of the American education system.

When did he become a civics education expert?

Still, i would bang young Dreyfuss all day long.

R2 Since around 2000 I think. I do know he partnered with retired Supreme Court Justices Sandra Day O'Connor and David Souter.

Dreyfuss founded the Dreyfuss Institute for Civics and O'Connor/Souter founded iCivics.

Yeah, he was cute as hell back in the day.

Do you agree or disagree with his assessment?

He is so inconsistent. He’s railing about civility and Hoover nails him on the his tweet saying that Trump supporters are whores. Now, I don’t have any respect for trump voters, but I wouldn’t call them whores while i was trying to be the arbiter of civil discourse. He also talks about how he said Trump was an idiot on Fox to some host who told him not to say it. He says, “I’ll stop saying it because I don’t want to insult you,” then says, “To not say he’s an idiot is ….a stretch.”

Dude, no.

You can’t be that guy from Goodbye Girl while wearing reading glasses perched low on the nose and tapping your fingertips together trying to look like a sage. You’re still that flying-off-the-handle Hollywood guy.

R6 I think she saw through that. You are right. Good catch!

Let's all look to actors for answers to the tough questions about life. Who better?! So they have to have everything they say written for them and they stand there like a dog while others dress them. Guide me!!
