I'm not sure he was slapping the children but rather the adults in charge of setting the curriculum. Where are the adults in charge? Why aren't they defending their curriculum? Instead, they let the children cry and whine to the public about the big ole meanie Rush Limbaugh. Pathetic but predictable.

BTW, I am a product of the public schools and I know exactly how little US history they teach! In the 80's, we were required 1 year of US History which basically covered the Revolutionary War to the Industrial Revolution. We ran out of time while studying the stock market crash of 1929. If I hadn't taken an elective Civics class, I never would have studied the Constitution.

I can tell you all you'd want to know about Andrew Carnegie! (rolling eyes)

Most important thing said in this whole thread about this matter, IMHO. Kudos!
