They're better off researching history on their own. Even that's getting tough, with revisionism and new priorities. Sociology and geography disappearing has had a negative impact, too. Those subjects taught people to recognize and respect cultural and national differences. Economics is not commonly studied, either. If it were, less people would succumb to a lifetime of financial servitude starting with those college loans. Civics and Problems of Democracy are all but gone, too.....with that disappears respect for the rule of law and understanding of our form of government and what we as citizens need to do to participate in a positive way. And, oh yeah, those life and vocational skills have bit the dust.

What a wonderful education is being provided....for the enslavement of 90% of the global population!

Most of the current generation prefers making decisions based on emotion and knee jerk ideology instead of measured consideration of what has happened in the past. It’s why there are so many clueless idiots running around shooting their mouths off.

P.J. O’Rourke called his 1911 edition of Encyclopedia Brittannica “The only reference I really trust,” so the solution is at the local used book store. :)

There are a lot of us out there writing traditional (good) history, including David McCullough, Paul Johnson, Mike Allen, Newt Gingrich, Bill Forstchen, Burt Folsom, Paul Kengor, and Dinesh D’Souza.
