Washington was one of history’s greatest men. We cannot judge the past by today’s cultural norms. The professor should understand that.
That “professor” is a MORON, who is destroying her own child.
He was indeed a great man. But I take a little issue with the comment about judging based on today’s cultural norms. Human sacrifice, for example, was always wrong.
Everything out of the Professor’s mouth spells “crackpot.” The Professor does not understand; she spouts obsessive nonsense. That does not equate to understanding.
“We cannot judge the past by TODAY’S cultural norms”.
Brilliant post. Maybe the next step the LEFT will demand in the outlawing of THANKSGIVING DAY. After all, those Pilgrims
were ivading the land of other people. They even burned women accused of being witches at the stake. People who committed the “crime” of ADULTERY were branded with an “A”.
Others went so far as to actually revolt against the current government, and today we hail them. Should we cancel the celebration of our INDEPENDENCE?
That “professor’s” student deserve a full tuition refund.
My cousin is a retired teacher in Rhode Island. Yesterday she told me she substituted in a first grade class in a Catholic school. The students are studying the Civil War! She said they asked if she knew how old George Washington and Abraham Lincoln would be if they were still alive. She didn’t. They knew, and told her the answer!
“I’m so glad I’m not teaching today. The Civil War in first grade”!
Of course we don’t know what else they will be learning about it but at least they just aren’t learning how to feel good about themselves.
Such a racist he incorporated blacks in his army and freed his slaves—the only founding father who owned slaves to do so. Archaeological digs at slave quarters at Mt. Vernon show he even gave guns to his slaves! Lots of trust there. Not your average Virginian of his day.
