The smallest tweak of reality could do so much for this country. How many black school kids ever learn the first man killed in the American Revolution was Crispus Attucks, a black man, former slave who was on the colonists side at the Boston Massacre? No kid learns about Dorie Miller, George Washington Carver, Booker T Washington and other towering giants.
So many good stories to tell, but the world wants them to be angry victims with a grudge.
Exactly.
The people who control what students learn about in school threw their lot in with the likes of the putrid W.E.B Dubois, a leeching student of Marx who thought more victimhood and protesting was the answer rather than the hardworking Booker T. Washington who thought the best inroads for blacks to achieve equality was to engage in commerce, and to do it well.
Booker T. Washington accurately saw that if they could provide products and services that were valuable, people would buy and use them regardless of the color of the skin of those offering them.
So those people who decide how and what students are taught are Leftists themselves, and venerate the likes of Dubois and ignore Washington.
Sad but true.
