Will they be taught our TRUE history? The history of our Founding Fathers, who said "embarassing things" like "When People fear the Goverment, it's tyranny; when Government fears the People, it's Liberty" (Ben Franklin) or "Those who exchange a measure of freedom for temporal safety deserve neither" (Again, BF)...etc etc etc?

While studying for a BA in History, I was required to have two US history classes. . .and two African history classes
and two Asian or two South American history classes! I am glad to see that the history of Nigeria is as important as the history of my own country!
NOT.

I suspect that the more "History" they are taught the less of the truth they will know. Better to leave them ignorant than have them taught more politically correct garbage. I vaguely remember a quote from, I think, either Will Rogers or Mark Twain to the effect that, "it ain't all the things a man don't know that makes him stupid, it's all the things he knows damn well that ain't so."
