No Founding Fathers? That's our new history.

The Pilgrims and the Mayflower also are excluded, as well as the word "war," which has been replaced with "conflict" in lessons about the early settlers, colonization and expansion.

Also gone are most references to the inhumane treatment many American soldiers endured in wars overseas during the 20th century. However, the standards specifically note that students should identify slavery, the Holocaust and modern Iraq as examples "in which people have behaved in cruel and inhumane ways."

Thanks for the info on the SOLs. I just assumed that that part of the article was correct. Silly me.

My hat's off to you. Your ancestors and people like them fought the greatest fight in history so this incredible country could be. And, just about 100 years after that their descendants were good enough to let people like my grandfather into this best of all countries.

GBA, man.

Look to the old Roman Empire for evidence on where our country may someday end up.

Political Correctness is becoming religion to youth.

Your focus is right on the money. The Fabian Left in America has deliberately achieved in two and a half generations, what it took Rome 15 to accomplish. We are on the edge of the precipice. We regain our heritage now, or it will all be over, faster than even many lifetime Conservative activists can imagine. The whole psychological infrastructure that makes a Nation function as such has been undermined.

I don't want to bring abuse down on this honored web venue by suggesting what I would like to recommend for those who have deliberately sought this dispensation. No, don't worry, I will confine myself to writing and speaking about them. (See Myths & Myth Makers In American "Higher" Education.)

I met Mr. Jamison when I visited the Berkley plantation on a trip a few years ago. He was sitting out in his sun porch. And yes, the first Thanksgiving was celebrated there.

I know Mittens won’t do it, but if Newt or Santorum gets in, they had best focus on restoring the Nation’s civic religion and enforce the constitution on Congress for a change.
