Is there not a video series which parents can purchase, that details the main points of the Revolutionary War and general U.S. History? If anyone knows, please post the information.

Indeed, but how many of our previous generations knew that George Washington was a horrible rashist, Thomas Jefferson was a rapist of the fine Ms. Sally Hennings and that the U.S. was the aggressor in World War II?
Sure, knowledge of The Monroe Doctrine and this Constitution thing is all fine and dandy, but it gravely cuts into time that could be spent on emphasizing the horrors inflicted on the dusky hued by whitey and the evils of a free market economy

When my son was in forth grade I was shocked to find out that he was learing Asian and African history for the third time and had never had American history. Now nothing the schools do shocks me, as I believe they dumb down kids intentionally.

The Commanding Heights, available from PBS, does a great job on the 20th Century. Give a great background on how we became a socialist state, and why we wouldn't want to continue to be one.

Our Education system K through Graduate school is rife with anti-American , anti-knowledge ( that's just CONTENT they sneer)political correctness apparently using Brave New World ( Huxley) as a model and an apparent agenda to destroy America and individualism. Our fair city ( one of the sogenannt TOP CITIES) is a bastion of high spending on education, poor results and middle school girls keeping weekly count of how many blow jobs they give because they were shown by Clinton and then validated by their "dating game" teachers that blow jobs are not sex. This is the kind of muddle that IS our education system. Close all the schools of education for a hundred years as the only possible way to get our education system back on track. Put some "content" back into the classroom and take the emphasis on the lowest common denominator and "process" out of the classroom. As an educator, I heartily recommend home schooling.

. Close all the schools of education for a hundred years as the only possible way to get our education system back on track. No, turn off the damn TV and educate them yourself. Better yet, send the message to Public schools by homeschooling!

Every evening as the sun goes down, I hold my 7-month old daughter in my arms by the front door, flick on the light for our Flag out front, and recite the Pledge of Allegiance.
I pray that it will always be so, and she will do the same for her childern.

They're doing a D**N fine job of it!

Regarding a good video series on the Revolution, there is a wonderful, wonderful series that is on PBS every now and then called, "Liberty, The American Revolution". It is beautifully done using the writings of those who lived during that era to tell the story. It also has hauntingly beautiful music. I have watched it numerous times, and am always inspired by it with a greater appreciation of what the early American patriots went through to gain liberty. The series also has a companion book that is excellent. You can check out the series at the PBS website: http://www.pbs.org/ktca/liberty/ Note: You may be able to find the series at your local library. Also at the website is a Revolutionary Game you can play. It is really a quiz with a lot of historical information given.

Great link! Gatto surely has the credentials to make observations on what is wrong with public education. I'll be reading his online book as time permits.
