It’s a Maoist cultural revolution in process, as part of a planned globalist, Marxist revolution.

There are precious few people that got the slave issue correct. John Wolhman was one, but he is in the minorities of minorities. North, South, merchants, and the social conscience of society, the church, screwed this one up.

Virtually every sector or society. And lets be honest: if we lived in 1858, we'd screw it up too in some fashion. We buy stuff from China today knowing they do not have our best interests at heart. We allow public schools to educate our kids (don't flame me, I'm painting with a broad brush), knowing it is a substandard education detrimental to their development. We allow the killing of our unborn children by our passivity. Need I go on?

“It’s a Maoist cultural revolution in process, as part of a planned globalist, Marxist revolution.”

Exactly right. The useful idiots are doing what their masters want in furtherance of that revolution.

Cultural Marxism successfully destroyed pride in the nation and her amazing accomplishments. All that they have left is destruction of our history.

Author Annie Holmquist is not very bright and not very well informed to think this is the result of a “narrow education.”

Bloom called his book The Closing of the American Mind.

If he were to write a sequel he might choose something like: Closing Nothing, We’re Auctioning Off the Furniture Here!

Yes...and a death wish.

Schools have replaced education with leftist indoctrination. Long ago. Sent my children to Catholic schools.
And, enrolled my daughters into martial arts to learn discipline and my sons were in the Young Marines all the way through High School for the same reason.
They have gone to Universities and come out with their values intact because we have discussed Liberalism in our home with them for years.

How about NO education and no ability or desire to learn?

Seems like the larger problem is not Madison High School. If the name Madison is somehow deemed Racist, then the city of Madison, Wisconsin will presumably desire a more woke name also.

I fail to see how erasing history somehow makes any country better.

Let’s hope nobody tells them that Madison was a slaveowner.

..... Schools ceased teaching real American history and Civics at least 20 years ago ..... Over the past 20 years .... Adults entering the voting blocks have been woefully inadequate in understanding America and how it works ..... And Why it exists as a beacon of Freedom on this planet ..... Add into that mess ..... The Soros funded viral destructive influences that are coming to fruition today ..... Just in time for one of the most important elections in the History of our Nation.

..... Pray For America .....

It signals a broad lack of education and a propagandization.

There are twenty seven cities and towns in the US named Madison:

There are schools, streets, lots of people(!)....this cancel culture oscillates between the frightening and the absurd.
