It is sad but true.

There is a lot of narrative history out there right now. From Leonard L. Richard's Shays's Rebellion to Ron Chernow's Alexander Hamilton there is a lot to read.

We are seeing the passing of a generation of historians who were trained prior to the PC academic poisoning.

How sad and true.

I took American History in college. I can't tell you
much about it, but I remember the guy driving the point
that the founding fathers were deists or athiests. That
was the first day. The rest of the semester we studied
Early american architecture.
I felt ripped off because I was really interested in American History, which is why I took the class. I only
took 3 semesters worth of this kind of crap. Then I dropped out because of it.

They don't teach at colleges anymore. They want to make a bunch of 'little-me's.

I am opposed to putting Reagan on the currency for this very reason.

The slavery mania in history will dissolve when it reaches the ironic yet straightforward conclusion that people who demanded the right to own slaves demanded very much freedom indeed. Which "very much freedom" we all enjoy today- after a lot of suffering and shed blood.


Gotta read: 'Patriarch: George Washington and the New American Nation'
By Richard Norton Smith

Of course education is abandoning the founding fathers, just one requirement of producing good little socialists is to expunge certain facts from the public lexicon, the public consciousness. Therefore, it is vital that children have no knowledge of the incredible inheritance that all Americans have been bequeathed, to be replaced by fuzzy "thinking" and "feelings." Public education is a mess, and no amount of funding will fix it. I feel truly sorry for those unable to home-school their children or send them to private schools unencumbered by marxist ideology and other brain-numbing idiocies.
