Hundreds of Colorado students protest history curriculum changes that would promote patriotism | Fox News
and then we wonder why this nation is in its decline. If you do not understand, or care to understand, the uniqueness of the United State in history you will squander away your birthright in exchange for the chains of totalitarianism. A generation of useful idiOts indeed.
I am in favor of exposing the skeletons in the closets of all the empires that have imposed their will by force. However this must be counter-balanced by the honest reporting of all the good that was done under those regimes.
To expect any powerful central system of education to do this without bias is naive folly.
It’s not that we need to teach or instill patriotism. I think adults can do that by example. I would just like our history not to be taught so pervasively in a negative light.
Gawd, I hate these teachers who aren’t sensible or balanced enough to avoid didactic ramblings.
Example: the Separation of church and state. The 2nd Amendment. Entitlements.
All of the above are socially misaligned to our country's detriment.
The American perspective should be American first and everything else later. This is the same as the the Objectivist view, no? - self first, then others if you so choose.
