That's a load of crap, too. Check out that legible panel about the Mayflower Compact. I've never read the darn thing, but I sure as heck remember what I was taught about it. Not that I'm against her "primary sources" methodology per se, but I think her theory is BS.

I'll posit that you can't just be given a copy of, for instance, the Magna Carta and exect to glean its sheer profundity without loads of instruction regarding history and its place in time. In fact clauses such as "* (11) If a man dies owing money to Jews, his wife may have her dower and pay nothing towards the debt from it." may require a little explanation...

Sorry for the digression from the real topic of the Governor's School Buggery...
