Thanks...you understand his point. Merkel and her crew of Haters of Western Civilization have their counterparts in America who want us to forget our history and the principles our Constitution is based upon.
I can remember as a kid (1970s timeframe) having the world history year (there’s only one course in your final five years of high school), and the Roman history period was covered by two pages in a text book, and the teacher at the time spent no more than two class days on the whole Empire period.
I would go to study hall, and pull out the encyclopedia to read over the whole period of Roman Empire history. It made no sense to me to skip the period because there is so much that occurred and affects us even today. Yet, even in college....it marginally improved.
