i frequently get asked to talk to HS & college students (i sometimes teach a course or two on AI culture/the WBTS at our local community college, since i became semiretired.)about the WBTS from the "southern prospective".
SADLY, many students have NO idea WHEN the war was, WHAT it was about and/or WHO any of the leaders were.(even lincoln is just "the guy on the $5.oo bill". some don't even know that he was POTUS!)
fwiw, i "lay the blame" on the "pubic screwl edumakashun sistim" for their IGNORANCE. (i would bet a month's salary that MORE high school "students" know that britiney spears doesn't wear underpants than who GEORGE WASHINGTON was!)
NOTE to ALL: IF you have school-age children, get to the school & find out WHAT they are "teaching" your child. you will be HORRIFIED!!!

You’re absolutely right. The “publik skools” are to blame, along with MTV and the rest of the dumbed down pop culture. The left has declared war on Western Civilization in general and America in particular, and they won’t rest until our history is trashed.
Most of what I’ve learned I learned despite of, or in irrelevance to, the public screwls. Public screwls are simply Liberal Indoctrination Centers. Education is irrelevant to them. If there is another Civil War, it must be to eliminate the cancer that is Liberalism from this country. Otherwise it will be a waste of time.
