Susan should be REQUIRED to read the casualty reports from every day’s activity of every Union Military Unit, large or small throughout the entire Civil War. To view all the Matthew Brady and other photographers’ iphotos of post-battle scenes, especially those containing corpses of WHITE FOLKS who gave their lives in the struggle to win freedom and liberty; even for ungrateful smartmouthed vacuum heads such as her.
AND she should be required to memorize the numbers of killed and wounded U.S. Military personnel from several major battles. 1st & 2nd Bull Run, Fredericksburg, Lookout Mountain, The Wilderness, Antietem and Gettysburg would probably suffice; and to put the cherry on top, she should be required to write a 5000 word dissertation revealing to all the world that it was the REPUBLICANS who initiated that war to win her freedom, and it was REPUBLICANS who pushed The Civil Rights Act of 1964 through congress, OVER THE OPPOSITION AND FILIBUSTERING of MOST DEMOCRATS. That it was a Republican POTUS who INTEGRATED Little Rock High School and who stood with James Meredith and others who broke the color barrier.
After she does those few simple tasks to indicate that she understands the true FACTS of American history; then and only then will she be qualified to pontificate on what WHITE or any other color students should be required to do! Other than that, I don’t have an opinion on the matter.
And that it was a future Republican presidential candidate -- Barry Goldwater -- who requested the honor of commanding and integrating the first military unit, the Arizona Air National Guard.
He also recognized the military contributions of blacks by racially integrating the military, insisted that Nazi horrors of WW2 be fully documented, initiated the interstate superhighway system, started an agency that would be renamed and claimed by a later president as "the Peace Corps", instituted an era of peace and prosperity inspired by his own deep knowledge of war and its consequences, and was the first of our modern presidents to suffer the media belittlement and personal scourging that is now standard practice.
