no disagreement that civics is poorly taught and often miscomprehended in US schools...but when you open with a nonsenical kneejerk conservative spitball right out of the albed cheapshot playbook, it's a little hard to take the rest of the article seriously (how about a link, btw?).
the point is that it's easy start any number of threads/articles with some variation on the "why do xxx hate America?" lead-in, and then paint the actions of the small handful of people you wish to marginalize with some political stereotype in order to cater to the ignorance and prejudice of the audience to whom you wish to appeal. however, if you need to use that sort of device to make your point, then you're either too lazy to do your homework or you don't have a valid point and you're really only interested in scoring points with the choir.
