History in the public secondary school system has always been a joke. It’s basically just a long list of political campaign slogans, punctuated by a short list of politically correct American wars.

History class especially in Public school secondary and college university ETC. is not about educating people about the past, its about shaping ideology.

History class in schools are about advancing the liberal agenda now and advancing feminism. For example, the smearing of Christianity and making the holy church as enemy number one to progress, portraying the church as against social justice, women's rights, the gay agenda, scientific advancement socialist redistribution of wealth ETC.

Then there's the attack on Western civ, in particular America, the west as an expansionistic genocidal empire gobbling up land and killing off indiginous people, western civ as the enemy and every other culture as being morally superior.

Its a crying shame. History classes especially in secondary and University levels is all about promoting self hatred, feminism and socialism.

My favorite lie, the crusades as a war of conquering aggression on innocent Muslims. REALITY:It was A liberation of what once was a Christian land from Muslim expansion, protect pilgrims who were being harassed and an attempt to stem the tide of Islamic imperialism aimed at taking Constanstinople.

IMAO A friend of mine who believes in Reincarnation said he was a knight hospitlar in Jerusalem and Antioch and said that if a liberal went back and told him and his buddies that same hogwash they'd probably laugh their heads off and think them insane. Then send him/her/it off to the lunatic asylum which was in a monastery. Mental health treatment then wasn't great whether you were a knight with PTSD or a time traveling liberal looney who thought Islamic values were superior to all others while claiming all things were relative.

In Short its all about destroying American civilization and culture and Christianity. These days I find documentary hosts who believe in Ancient aliens to have more credibility than public school history teachers.

I had this same experience as an undergrad 30 years ago.
Got sick of the faculty having their daily multiple orgasms over Howard Zinn.

Speaking of fake history, I would bet 8 out of 10 people would agree that Queen Cleopatra was a black African (formerly a Negro).

She was not. It is absurd to believe otherwise. It is fake history.

I would bet 8 out of 10 people would agree that DNA testing proved that Th. Jefferson had children by a slave, Sally Hemmings.

It did not. It is absurd to believe it did. It is fake history.
