"Since the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001," observed Diane Ravitch, a distinguished professor of education, "no one needs to be reminded about how important it is to learn history." No one, it now seems, except the National Education Association (NEA).

My kids were with me on 9/11 and they will be with me this 9/11. We will observe it with prayer, not by saying we brought this on ourselves.

Thanks for the post and ping. I am always amazed at how fast the citizens of this country are to forget. The little kiddies in public schools will probably take home all kinds of "approved" handouts on 9/11 telling them how they must be tolerant of other ideas, even if those with the opposing ideas use mass murder of innocent persons to further their cause.

Thanks, madfly.
Good article.

"Blaming is especially difficult in terrorist situations," the NEA bemoans, "because someone is at fault."

The NEA contradicts itself, because schools blame little boys for pointing their fingers like a gun.

Since when does the NEA propose curricula? They are probably in violation of their own charter.

NEA needs to go away, NOW!!! They make Communist's look tame!
