I told my kids and now tell my grandchildren to go to history books written before the 1930’s.
Too bad conservatives have waited 30 years to do this.
haha, how much bandwidth do they have? Can we start, please, with the blurb about the ‘women and men’ taking pick-axes out into the gold mines in the California Gold Rush. The day there were (equal numbers of) women with pick axes in the mines!!
Ummm.Where do we start? Darwinism, global warming, evolution,gay day(s), family units, Christian bashing, “winter break”, “winter concert”,etc!!
Watching F&F this morning I learned that Social Security and Veterans Benefits are “welfare” thanks to some text book. I thought welfare was getting something for nothing...;)

Send them a copy of “A People’s History of the United States” by Howard Zinn. There is a lie or mischaracterization on almost every page.
