“Who owns America’s history? Well, for now the progressives do.”

For NOW? How about for the past 50 years while ‘conservatives’ were dumping their kids into government schools. And it seemed to me that the schools were actually ANNOUNCING how Leftist they were, particularly when using the (alternative) ‘history’ book called: “A PEOPLE’S History of the United States.”

And yes, most schools did and do use it, and YES, most ‘conservatives’ do not even know that the term “People’s” is and was used in the actual names of Communist countries, like North Korea and East Germany.

But I know, public schools are FREE!!!, so what the hell. Right?

Fabian Socialism has been at work in our education system for over 100 years. And we are at a point where schools, by the indoctrination of students who eventually vote, have turned our institutions such as courts etc. into promoters of collectivism.

Sadly, much of human nature is sentimental, driven by emotion making majorities ripe for manipulation. For instance, eighteen-year-olds etc. voting for taxes they don't pay but think are "fair" is just the tip of the iceberg. Your observation is right on target. When a majority of parents, distracted by materialism and their own deficient educations don't concern themselves with what kids are being taught, we get the likes of Carter- Clinton- Obama- Biden with worse to come.

PerConPat is right, its more like 100 years.

But as to “For NOW?”, it’s really going to depend on if conservatives are willing to stand up and become citizen historians.

You and I, and individual people can do this without any major organization backing whatsoever. Once that becomes more widely known I think it will become more of an effort.
