In an interview with the Washington Examiner, Siller said an increasing number of young students today "don't understand the gravity" of 9/11, and many don't even know that it happened, something that he expressly blamed the education system for.

"It's the fault of the schools that are teaching things they shouldn't be teaching instead of things about our history and American history, which is what happened to us on [9/11]," Siller said. "There's only 16 states right now in America that currently require that it's even just mentioned."

Or even overreaction that caused (GWB) the creation of the TSA and DHS - two of the most freedom-stealing, abusing and detrimental cabals that act against US Citizens to this very day.

The education system will just call it “White Supremacism” and “Hate” to make sure the book are not used.

Mission creep.

TTT should keep it’s focus on what it’s original purpose.

Spreading out to other fields, however noble weakens it’s main mission.

Just my opinion.
