Why don’t they just proclaim “History started with today’s breakfast” and be done with it? Then they could destroy all the history books and abolish all history classes.
There is NOTHING in our national history that they like. Nothing at all. Except maybe the Stonewall riots, the Antifa riots, cop killing, the Seattle WTO riots, the Occupy Wall Street kooks, and the 1919 Anarchist bombings.
That's what the Khmer Rouge did, reset the clock to "Year Zero".
