Leaders in education, politics and other areas gathered in suburban Evanston Sunday to ask that the Illinois State Board of Education change the history curriculum at schools statewide, and temporarily halt instruction until an alternative is decided upon.

Before the event Sunday, Rep. Ford's office distributed a news release "Rep.

Abolish the history of the past weekend!
Madness.

What’s still called “history class” is so short on actual history instruction, it’s probably fair to say they’ve already abolished it.

Edmund Burke said: “Those who don’t know history are destined to repeat it.” and: Edmund Burke quotes (British Statesman and Philosopher, 1729-1797)
