Ted Kennedy is no longer in the country's consciousness. Kind of like the Vietnam War. Hell, most young people can't tell you their own Senator

Hell....the kids in the history class I'm in at the HS (general ed) didn't know what Pearl Harbor was. They thought that Gorbachev started the Cold War, and that the US bombed Berlin and Tokyo to end WW2.
I can't blame the kids for that. I blame on those charged with educating said kids. Our education system has surely failed.

Those ******* Germans never should've bombed Pearl Harbor.
That's because teachers are too busy teaching mandatory standardized test information for 90% of the year under the penalty of poor professional evaluations. Education has become a business with the highest bidder earning the right to have their test be the standard which everyone is measured under. There's no time to get into any material too deeply. Blame your money grubbing policy makers for that.
There is an up and coming Kennedy, Joe Kennedy running for his 4th Congressional term in 2018. Likely
the next Senator from Mass when Warren or Markey hang it up.

I think you misunderstand. I am not blaming teachers here. Well, not too much anyway. A lot of this falls on parents as well. I was talking more about the Department of Education and the cesspool that is the public education system in general. Spend more per student than any nation in the world, turn out kids that don't know the difference between there, their and they're or your and you're. You would get shunned in Japan for **** like that.
So what you're say is that the curse of the Kennedy's will never end?
