Your Maryland education has failed you
Fortunately, my K-12 years were in MA & CT in the 1930s & 1940s...
In MA, we lived 3 miles from the Lexington Green and one set of my grandparents lived in Concord...
Reading, writing, and American history was the purpose of what was known as “public schools”...
It is unfortunate they ceased to exist after the 1960s and became government propaganda & indoctrination centers...
