North Carolina public high schools are trying to erase all early U.S. history from the curriculum, ranging from the Founding Fathers to Abraham Lincoln and the Civil War--in exchange for things like environmental issues...

When a country forgets its history, it ceases to exist. That’s the plan I guess.
just unbelievable...no wonder we are becoming a nation of dummies...
Wait a minute - this can’t be true because North Carolina is one of those places where the government schools are “different”, which, of course, justifies conservatives living in NC institutionalizing their children in government schools. This article must be wrong.
I live in NC and home school. Just another reason to the long list of reason I won’t ever send my children back to the government indoctrination centers.
I’m a conservative living in NC and my kids are schooled at the kitchen table. :)
Oh, you’ve noticed that too? The “but MY school’s different!” response?
I guarantee none of this nonsense will ever happen at MY daughter’s school. Because her dad and I will be her teachers and her school will be the kitchen table.
Slap my Maypole and call me Algore.I’m shocked that the left would devalue our culture.
“Who owns the youth owns the future!” Adolf Hitler
So do I, on both counts. And I'd put my kids' knowledge of US, world, and Bible history against any public-school kid's.
Truly, I feel sorry for those parents who can't either homeschool their kids or put them in private school. Our nation is being Hitler-Youth-ized, one student at a time.
Romans 1:25 They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator—who is forever praised. Amen.
Environmentalism is the worship of creation, rather than the Creator. Simply another tool of the Accuser.
Kidnap your children and brainwash them to be eco-warriors> these edu misfits don’t produce enough of their own children so they want to brainwash yours
Funny to read this as my 17 year old daughter and I are taking a break from her homeschooling US history class. I am so glad my kids are not in public school!!
What in the world has happened to NC the last few years?
Anybody reconsidering how “convenient” it is to abdicate your parental responsibilities to the government?
Yeah, I didn’t think so. Why should the parents take any responsibility for their own kids lives or educations? The government’s there to relieve the burden of raising the children you brought into the world.
A people gets the government they deserve.
Excellent Post!!
Not only dummies but people who don't know the founding principles of this country and what makes it unique. This way we buy the crap fed to us by people like 0-bow-mao when they preach that we're one of a family of nations. That our culture is no better than anyone else's. Always remember the progressives win power over long periods of time by getting to "the children". This is why they're so protective of the government monopoly on education.
I knew there was a reason I liked collecting old history textbooks....
Fox News covered this last night and it is truly outrageous.
They want to drop all history covering the Founding Fathers and the Civil War. American History would start just before the dawn of the Progressive Era. The rest would be replaced with a 9th. grade class on global social issues, primarily climate change.
