It really isn't funny. My eight year old was being taught like this a few weeks ago.

Our 8 year old is reading Augustus Caesar's World by Genevieve Foster and our 10 year old is reading In the days of King Minos by Lyda Krontira ...I figure if we give them a good Classical basis in history (instead of social studies) they will be prepared to discern the phony fluff. The more things change, the more they stay the same.

We had a very interesting discussion on "et tu Brute" and contemporary politics this morning.

My boys were being taught like this last year. This year they are being homeschooled.

It's strange. Right before I came here to browse the latest news, I was looking for a book on terms historians use. Couldn't find one but I did come across an interesting article. I talks about the purpose of Historians and why they are needed to help us remember the past. It also goes on to state that those who do not have a memory are easily manipulated by propagandists and pseudo-historians that make up history to fit an ideology.

I suggest that everyone take a look at the article link I provided below.
