Teachers are dropping controversial subjects such as the Holocaust and the Crusades from history lessons because they do not want to offend children from certain races or religions, a report claims.
Yet they still teach that Columbus discovered America, George Washington cut down a cherry tree, and that the Civil war was fought to free the slaves. All of that is bullshit.
The idea that we must censor our public schools so as not to offend some people is ludicrous! It is about learning the truth, no matter who gets their panties in a wad over it!
Now comrade...!
ReplyDeleteSeriously, I wish Howard Zinn's A People's History of the United States was a required text in all schools.
