easy solution

go on vacation to a place with history, I’ve took my kids to most of the major battle sites during the war of southern independence.
Got to Williamsburg, St Augustine FL our nations oldest city, Plymouth MA, the north end in MA etc etc etc

the family gets a vacation and a history lesson.

I’ve been studying history for nearly 30 years and even on TV when watching a movie I point the faults out of the movie and tell them what really happened.

Get movies like Gods and generals, Gettysburg and then ask the kids things like imagine how they feel just before they did the Picketts charge.

History needs to be taught because you can damn well know that most teachers to day do not teach factual history.

My oldest at 12 has corrected teachers with his knowledge and there was only one sub teacher who scoffed at him and believe me she was reported to as many people as I could report too.

teachers say they want parents help but when parents do get involved the teachers do not like it.
What teachers really mean is that they want parents help in raising money for the schools or on field trips etc but they hate parents to know what the teachers say to the kids.

For some public school might be the only option so then get as many parents as you know and talk to each other,
Back each other up over a teacher incident, go as a group to the school the next day and demand to see that teacher.
if more parents get involved the schools will have to listen

Well, I wasn’t really asking for myself. We homeschooled and my kids are now in a classical Christian school where they do actually learn history. I’m just talking about the millions of kids all over the country who are being indoctrinated. I wish I knew what we could do about that.
