Students in the Navy's military schools take a curriculum that includes "Sea Power," "Military History" and "mini-boot camps." They do not include African American History or Latin American History. ..."

I guess learning the Marine Hymn that includes a stanza with the halls of Montezuma and the shores of Tripoli doesn't count? I wonder if graduates of today's "multicultural studies" programs even know why those places are included in the song?

I bet military schools teach why. Could it be their graduates are learning more about history? How about history that matters. History that relates to why we are alive and thriving. History that explains why western civilization continues to be viable and superior in party because Americans have believed in something enough to fight for it numerous times over the past 200 years.

Of course the enemies of freedom want to prevent such instruction...
