Just imagine the socialists in the news media having a coronary over that one...
I share your sympathies on this. However, you and I both know what would happen. American History would totally ignore the founding of the nation, would not bring up the Constitution, BOR, DOI or the Articles of Confederation. Instead, American History as the inferiors...er...politicians would frame it would be drawn in terms of "the 60's" and some of the failed socialist/labor movements of the 19th and early 20th century. We'd get wars explained to us as the "results of unfettered capitalism" and not a single dead white male would make the list of great historical figures.
Cynical?....Nah, say it ain't so brother, say it ain't so.
Some say I'm cynical too, but I doubt it.
Sowell has forgotten more wisdom and common sense than most of the "Wise Men" shooting off their mouths will ever know.
