Kinda’ like learning about Winston Churchill’s gratitude speech without learning about the blitz over London. Or Roosevelt’s day of infamy speech wherein we declare war on Japan without learning about Pearl Harbor.
Common Core is an abomination. Homeschool your kids if you can.

I was in 3rd grade in 61 and I remember learning about Lincoln and the civil war. We even had a stovepipe hat that the teacher passed around so we could have fun trying it on and giggling at how silly we looked in it.
I remember the teacher pointing out that Lincoln was the first Republican president... you’d never hear that in school nowadays.
School was once a serious learning experience.
