Bill Clinton issued an executive order requiring that school text books be revised to reflect a more diverse history of the US. Knowing nothing about post modernist thought or social justice, most of us were rightly outraged.
The Duke Lacrosse case was my first introduction to post modernist thought. Since then, I’ve done a bit of reading and now understand relativism, revisionist history and social justice. But never did I see a clearer illustration of what social justice really means than when I heard Obama declare that voting was the best revenge.
My high school history teacher was Miss Mildred Funk. You didn’t mess around with Mildred LOL. She knew history from the minute Adam and Eve got the boot! There were a lot of old maid teachers then, sort of like secular nuns I suppose. You learned or you suffered!
