It has long been my contention that the reason the country has fallen so far to the left is that unrevised American History has not been taught for decades in the public school system.
Social studies with political overtones has taken it’s place to the point where America is taught to be the villain in the world today in all too many cases.
Does the allegiance to the flag still open the new school day across the country? Is the National Anthem played at the beginning of each football game? Or have they been deliberately stamped out to defeat the unity of patriots?
If a people doesn’t know from whence it came, can a people have guidelines on where to go? I think that bad decisions are made on a more emotional basis than an intellectual one, based on a knowledge of historical events .
Unrevised American history is full of real heroes. All young people need heroes to admire. They all need inspiration to aspire to greatness in their own lives.
Public education as well as higher education has robbed two generations of Americans so far. Will our cherished way of life be extinct before another can be raised?
Parents, take charge of your schools. If they do not respond, home school your children. You can do it! You will benefit by watching your children enthuse as they learn, and you just might learn a thing or two as well.
Very well said. :)
