Good point. I'll wear my "One Fish, Two Fish..." tie.


OK, if I agree that he is a good author, will you address the focus of the post, which is Suess and other small issues supplanting history in curriculum

No. I'm too busy admiring the Tasmanian Devil tie I'm wearing today.... ;-)

Seriously, though... I don't see a Dr. Suess celebration as "supplanting history" in the curriculum. It's a silly thing over which to get your panties in a twist.

I will certainly agree that history seems to have fallen by the wayside in schools, to be replaced by crap. That's a serious problem.

But for heaven's sake: I can't think of a better way for you to marginalize yourself than by going on the warpath about Dr. Suess. If you want to get upset about a bad history curriculum, get upset about it directly, rather than venting your wrath over something that's fun for the kids.
