The two are indivisible

Then why are you splitting them apart?

Think it hasn't happened here? Get a hold of your kids history books and take a good look.

As far back as the early 80's, when I was active with groups around the country fighting government intrusion into the family and the dumbing down/socialism in our school rooms, a new 5th grade history book hit the schools with 5 1/2 pages and photos of = Marilyn Monroe. And one small, derogatory paragraph on George Washington. (for one small example)

As a retired teacher, I heartily second your complaints!!

Just looking at the rest of the list of “dropped” individuals: Hitler, Stalin, Gandhi...... Just what ARE they going to teach?

You know, when I taught, and when I was in school myself, we studied ALL the subjects they discussed-—both approved and unapproved. (All except the guy they “approved” that helped end slavery in England. I’ve never heard of him!?)
