Laugh now but I just got off the phone with SIL...kids 14, 10,8 they are no longer teaching kids our countries history as we were taught. They aren't even teaching them cursive writing. Everything is computerized and even text books are obsolete. There is progress then there is foolishness. When parents have to teach their kids the need to be able to physically write. To understand the true history and it's importance. Counter intuative to instututional teachings...People are fools not to be concerned about such things.

This has been going on for decades, but it's certainly gotten worse as of late. I graduated in 1977 and remember when the school system started calling the "Civics" class the "Social Studies" class. It would have been a lot more honest if they had just called it the "Socialist Studies" class. Even at that young age I saw the difference in how 'facts' were being presented to the students.
