[snip]"taught a different History."

That's history but most subjects are equally watered down and sanitized today. Children don't get a full picture of the world from any of their classes -- the only topic covered completely is "Diversity" which is pounded into their heads constantly -- in different formats. The final product produced by the public school system is a "youth" unable to think and young people who believe they have "all the answers".

Recently I copied a page out of a book in a middle-school Library, a recent look at a small slice of ancient Chinese History. In the book the author pointed out one of the thoughts of the man reputed to be the first sovereign emperor of China (Ch'in Shih Huang Ti - about 2200 years ago). It was his opinion that people were much easier to control if they were kept ignorant. Thomas Jefferson's opinion was that, in order for the "Republic" to function properly, a well-educated public would be required.

I leave it to others to decide which viewpoint seems to predominant in our leaders (educators) of today.
