When an historical event is determined by, or a consequence of, a political decision...how do you really know what the truth is?

Public Education System is a POS PING! With the exception of a few teachers...most school districts are hives for disinformation by the lefty loonies that run them.

Education Reform is taking on a whole new meaning.

Actually according to the laws of quantum mechanics, history is just a set of possible histories with various probabilities of occurring. There is no one exact history.

Quantum mechanics sometimes makes my head hurt.

Last term I taught a class in law and economics, mostly (university) juniors and seniors. We spent about two weeks talking about the Constitution. Most of the discussion concerned its economic effects and logic, but we spent one class talking about the primary features of the Constitution, including the rights it is supposed to insure. We also talked about various other common-law rights throughout the course.

On my teaching evaluations I got one of the saddest comments I have ever received. The student said, "I learned more about my rights in this class than during my entire life as a citizen of this country."

Who cares about American History. It's much more important to learn about the Aztecs, who counquered and killed neighboring tribes, enslaving them or sacrificing hundreds of thousands of them at the altars to their pagan gods, ripping the still beating hearts from the chests of their victims and kicking their bodies, tumbling down the bloodsoaked pyramids were a peaceful and advanced people that we could learn much from.

I knew American History was over when Harriet Tubman had greater prominence in American History books than Abraham Lincoln.

How do these regulations affect private school text books?

Time is fast approaching where true America history lives on only as an oral tradition passed parent to child.

History isn't the only subject being trashed. Geography, Ethics, Civics, English Lit and with graphing calculators Math calculation has been reduced to simply following the recipe. Generations of ignoramuses courtesy of public education. What a harvest that will be.

What we have is Orwellian history, where the past is something to be altered at will.

I knew American History was over when the 400 History Professors came to the defense of Bill Clinton--the Chinese Enabler and Chief Pervert.

My last oddball post aside, I work in the California Parks system. Often, while trying to provide details on history, we often find ourselves having to "adjust" some of our presentations to either lessen the potential for offending certain groups, or to apologize for many of our forefathers' (er, framers) errors committed against these certain groups.

History is history. If errors were made, let's not gloss over them but learn from them. Otherwise we increase our potential to commit these sins again.

which is exactly why i pick up every copy of an old history text book i can get my hands on. my children will get a proper history education. not to mention i sat at my great-grandmothers knee often growing up, litening to stories of HER greatgrandparents. and will pass these stories onto my children, grandchildren, etc.

"Those who fail to learn from history, are doomed to repeat it."

Would repeating ninty five percent of America's history, be a bad thing??

The agenda is clear:
Who controls the past, controls the future. Who controls the present, controls the past. ---- 1984 by George Orwell

Public Schools were created to mold students into good students. They were to be Americanized, learn our common history, and learn the prevailing generic Protestant Biblical worldview.
Today, we have multi-culturalism, multilingualism, and discrimination against religion. The goal of the left is to destroy America.
