I am agreeing with you that all of our history should included in American history. That way all of our children would benefit from knowing the scope of all of everyone’s contributions to this great country of ours. My children, who are honor students, are well versed in American history. My daughter even worked at our local Civil War museum, but I have felt it was my duty to supplement their lessons because it feel its important that they appreciate all of who they are.
Your supplementing your children’s history education is not only appropriate and right, but different, no? Everyone should be proud of the achievements of their ancestors (even the bandits, at least they make for interesting stories), but the danger lies in programming and liberals love to control minds.
Imagine instead that the frat had put on a skit making fun of the Scottish - kilts, cheapskate jokes and all. We’d laugh because the Scots have become Americans. Blacks instead have been taught to be especially race sensitive.
The Devil is a wise tactician and his strategy is human misery. We look different and it is obvious, yet Americans are a warm and caring people who today, even after a century of government schooling believe in merit and give the benefit of the doubt.
If it is always about race, then it is always about differences and differences divide. We’ve got to move beyond race and just be Americans. If we would do that then we’d laugh and say yes isn’t that stereotype funny because it would no longer be true and we’d not be sensitive to it. We wouldn’t have African-Americans, we’d have Americans of African descent. That’s my only point.
Have a good night, FRiend.
