The kids love it. They don’t have to learn AMERICAN HISTORY in school anymore.

And the lawyers love it too.

Instead, an epic legal battle erupted that reached the U.S. Supreme Court - twice - before the city accepted defeat. Last December, after protracted negotiations, Hazleton agreed to pay nearly $1.4 million in fees to the lawyers who beat back the ordinance, including Philadelphia-based Cozen O'Connor and the American Civil Liberties Union of Pennsylvania.

That reminds me, I just brought three very old history books on ebay. One was printed in 1898 - I think. Anyway, they are school books for younger students, and should be very interesting. We have one such book, a “First Geography” book published in 1862, which is rather like a history book more than straight geography. I am stunned by what the children were expected to learn and comprehend back then as I guarantee that now not one in one hundred students in university would know one tenth of what is in that little book.
