[Born in a Rage]

We own the book "Sam the Minuteman". Sadly, it doesn't surprise me that not one kid knew what a minuteman was. They learn very little history in the elementary grades at public schools. I remember asking my nephew, who was in 6th grade at the time, what a Minuteman was (my son was studying the American Revolution in kindergarten and the subject came up) - he had no idea. It's a shame, it really is :-(

The shame is the adults who have let the NEA and their political wing control the agenda and the curriculum for so long. If adults don't care about what their children are being taught, then they can hardly blame anyone else when someone who _does_ care steps in to fill the void...
