Here's another one. My son comes home from school Friday and says one of his teachers told the class that Germany decided to surrender after we dropped the two atomic bombs on Japan.

And he also told the class that without the atomic bombs we would have never won the war.

Like I said. The more I read this stuff the more I see why people are choosing to educate their kids at home.

Just wondering if you called the teacher up to verify.

Is your son's teacher a coach who has been assinged to teaching history or someone who actually has a degree in history.

For a short time I was a board member at my kids Charter School..we were reviewing potential history books for the 8th grade level that was spinning up the next year and one section in there actually said that the Pilgrim s "invaded" North America.

I was the only person on the board that seemed to have a problem with it.

Since Germany surrendered on May 7 1945 to the Allied forces how it it possible the surrender happened after we dropped the two atomic bombs three month later on Japan on August 6 1945?

Nevermind it's puplik edschukashon

A teacher said that? Dang, wonder what parallel universe he came from? I hate to break it to him but Germany surrendered 3 months before Japan did. Granted, the taking of Japan would have been hard had the atom bombs never been used but I still like to know where this guy learned his history from.
