In an effort to improve students' knowledge of American history, increase their civic involvement, and deepen their love for our great country, President Bush began the announced this morning new History & Civic education initiatives in public schools. Bush later headed to Nashville, Tennessee to campaign for Lamar Alexander, and to attend the Pledge Across America event at East Literate Magnet School. Also today, the White House released an official response to Iraq's alleged unconditional acceptance of UN inspectors. The White House Response

Meanwhile, First lady Laura Bush, along with Lynn Cheney, hosted a symposium on Women of the West in the East Room of the White House. Enjoy your daily dose of Dubya!

History was one of my most interesting classes all through school. It seems like it is not taught like it was when I was in school which is a shame.

But we loved the double dose!

Wasn't that pledge great! What a beautiful thing to see the President and Sec. Paige stand up for the Pledge and for America.

Howdy!

HAHAHAHAHAHA! Boy, that was almost as funny as the day I mistaken called the dose, 'A day in the life of President Clinton'!!!

I didn't see last night's Dose until this afternoon and you two were a riot. How does it feel to be legends? I laughed the whole time I read BOTH threads. Mo and MJY cracked me up too.

These are some great pics, rintense. I love the one where Dubya is peeking out the window of the WH! Why was David McCoullough with him at the WH?

I know what my kids are learning about American History because we talk about what they're reading in homeschool, and I try to read what they're reading so I can discuss it with them. They know about their civic duties as far as voting, etc. We had a primary here in MA today. I can't wait to see what happens with the Lt. Gov. race; it's gonna be interesting because the woman that Mitt Romney picked as his running mate is NOT the person the Repub. State Convention delegates picked to be his running mate; they picked Jim Rappaport. So this primary will decide that. I'll have to watch the late evening newscast to see what's up with that!

I came to see the pics last night Ohio!!

You done good!!

:O)

I sure am glad that Lamar Alexander ditched that plaid flannel shirt!

[Wait4Truth]

It's not being taught like it used to be because of the leftist teachers that hate America, hate God and hate everything we stand for. The President can't say that so he is putting programs in place that will force them to teach the truth about what a great country this is. He quoted statistics about how little kids know about our history. He said we must teach our kids about the American cause of freedom around the world. He was great!

Laura is absolutely stunning in this picture!!

[Soaring Feather]

Wonderful photos, thanks rintense!

We have found Ohio!!!

Is this the right thread???

I don't know where OhioWfan is, but in the first picture of post #6, the President seems to be looking for her too!

LOL!

I agree with you that history is not taught as much as it should be. I think that in 4 years of high school and 2 years of junior high I only had one history class. I believe I only had one history class in college, too (one semester) and that was not American History. I am fascinated with history and I do lots of reading on my own, but I am embarrassed about how much I don't know.

She does look great, "luminous" is the word that comes to mind, I remember one other pic of her, having lunch with a whole bunch of trrops, she had on a periwinkle-color suit and she just shone in the crowd

Laura is absolutely stunning in this picture!!

I will NEVER take for granted this beautiful woman, and the fresh, pure air she and her husband have brought to the White House!!!

btw, isn't that Alma Powell next to Lynn Cheney?

[Carolinamom]

Gorgeous pictures as usual! President Bush's undergraduate major was history. Then HE earned his MBA. BTW what DID doofus Gore major in anyhow?
