There’s only one problem with your proposal; that isn’t how history is taught at the high school or college level.
Once upon a time, students learned about American exceptionalism and the genius of the founding fathers; the Constitution and the electoral process. Unfortunately, much of that has been replaced with “history” that treats all ideas (and ideologies) equally, while downplaying, ignoring or heavily criticizing the contributions of our founders, and the Judeo-Christian priciples that guided them.
If you want an example of how American history has been altered and twisted by political correctness, look at the treatment given to George Washington in any textbook. Then, compare that to the new Washington biography (discussed on Glenn Beck’s program on Friday), or if you prefer, Douglas S. Freeman’s definitive, multi-volume study of our first commander-in-chief. You’ll quickly discover that today’s history courses are nothing but exercises in P.C.
I’m all in favor of history being taught in our schools. But to do a proper job of it, we need a new generation of historians and scholars, who (in turn) would train the history teachers. Unfortunately, both the academy and the public schools have been consumed by political correctness and liberalism. These days, about the only young people who learn “real” American history are the home schoolers and kids fortunate enough to attend a college like Hillsdale.
It is like aiming a water pistol at a raging Marxist forest fire. Homeschoolers are only 2% of the nation's K-12 population. ( At very best 5%.)
