they don’t teach US history in government schools anymore anyway. this crop of millennial SJWs have literally ZERO clue about our history. they’ve grown up on a steady diet of Howard Zinn revisionist BS. they are a stupid and entitled and amoral generation. in another 20-25 years, they will control this country and the USA will finally cease to exist.
Just for the record, some do. DH has been substitute teaching & this past semester, one of his classes was studying the war. He was impressed that they were even handed about it. This is in the district we both graduated from, decades ago, & it really doesn’t seem to have changed that much- not like the stories we’ve read.
I’m not sure how many of them are actually ignorant. You can post facts & back it up (like the Corwin amendment & links to writings before the revisions), but they either just ignore it or delete it. At least one entire thread disappeared from thediscussionist yesterday to which I’d posted about the Corwin amendment. I don’t know if it flamed out later or what.
I don’t think we’ll make it that long if this continues.
