Show your kids this. And explain to them where ObamaCare fits into all this, and what the future holds.

Like Hannitys group
Most liberal low info youth ever
Make 60s and early 70s kids look like Birch
Compare 1972 election to 08 and 12
Pitiful
I’m amazed how many 30 year olds have never seen Patton or even Dr. Strangelove.
2 outstanding series were “The World at War” and “Victory at Sea”.
Movies and Videos are attractive entertainment mediums.
Unlike many previous generations, this generation has access to movies, wherein they can discern the differences of the thinking of the people in their respective era.
It’s one of the reasons I hate some large budget cable TV shows, attempting to portray every historical situation in a post 2000 frame of mind.
Sorry don’t think this is included in the Federal Gov/Gates Foundation Common Core curricula.
I was near tears the first time, seriously. I’m not watching that again.
Therefore, to be acceptably precise here, I hereby amend my comment to read,
“Are Penn State, Temple, and Drexel just adult daycare now?”
(That is, by the way, a rhetorical question.)
And a few “you know”s too.
Here we go again.
The Holocaust used to be part of the middle school curriculum, 7th grade, here in NJ. Sometimes in 6th grade in the LA curriculum. The SS curriculum changed and I’m not sure it’s included anymore. It’s still in our high school curriculum but the middle school curriculum I’m not sure about as I don’t have kids there anymore and still trying to learn the common core curriculum for where I work. In NJ it really depended on the district.
It’s posts/comments like these that really turn me off of FR.
I don’t know AZ curriculum for SS (or any other subject) but in NJ 7th grade SS curriculum used to start with the Constitution (as it was Civics class), minor study in the colonies and Revolutionary War, but focused mainly on Civics. Then in 8th grade, more detailed info on the Colonies, Revolutionary War, Civil War, WWI and WWII and ending with current events.
High School history classes go into more depth and detail.
It’s a new curriculum now and Common Core for middle school so we’re learning as we go along. High School still seems the same.
I hate the new curriculum for middle school.
Yeah, that’s a great idea. Your kids first.
It would help to know why.
Our elected politicians are repeating history. Supposedly, these are educated, aware people. And we expect our youth to know this stuff?
welcome to the tiny FR subset who raised perfect kids in perfect educational settings. Haha.
I have a child who is a jewhater and wannabe jewkiller maybe soon to succeed.
Yes. My child first.
Along with “Shoah” (picture is from that film) add “The Partisans of Vilna” (rendered dramatically as “Defiance”), “Fateless” and finally “The Pianist.” The last one is especially important because it drives home the everyday illusion of normalcy and “life as usual” even as the Nazi noose drew daily tighter around the necks of Polish Jewry.
welcome to the tiny FR subset who raised perfect kids in perfect educational settings. Haha. Don’t you know anything other than homeschooling is abuse?
I sent my kids to a fantastic K-8 Catholic school and saw the changes from the first two to the second two. Still good just not as good as the older two. Same with the high school. We keep dumbing down the educational requirements.
I live in a very affluent area so our public, private, and Catholic schools are great. My kids have benefitted from them. I’ve also seen the downgrading but I’ve been seeing it since the early 1980s.
But it’s hilarious to me that all these so called conservatives aren’t fighting this system they hate and blame so much. Oh that’s right, they can’t bother to get out from behind their computer screen to try to change things.
