American History begins in 1877!!

.
At least that's the new proposal for the NC High School curriculum.
.
The state's on-going curriculum review hits all subjects but it's the proposed changes for high school students learning social studies that have provoked fears. Under the new guidelines, students will graduate without learning enough about world history and key parts of American history including Abraham Lincoln, westward expansion or much else that happened before 1877 when Reconstruction ended, critics say.
.
Skip the Founding Fathers, The Revolutionary War, The War of 1812, The Civil War, and Reconstruction. Is that all? And the School Board wonders why parents stay in their ass all the time.

It is political correctness, not Al Qaeda, that will destroy America.

It's easier to rewrite history when their is less of it to rewrite.

And NOT knowing history throws George Santayana right out the window too.

If we start at 1877 and tell the little dumbasses that reconstruction ended then, won't we have to explain reconstruction which means going back to the Civil War which ended in 1865?
Of course most people, teachers included still think the Civil War was fought just to end slavery. WRONGGGGGGG.

Tio,
your violating the first rule of PCascism, actually two rules.

Your THINKING for yourself and telling the TRUTH.

And BTW, why are you people in here, our lord and master said we need to turn off the TV, don't listen to Fox, get off the blogs and just talk. People are tired of politics!!

Uh huh, and his ass sucks canal water too.

Breathe deep the gathering gloom,
Watch lights fade from every room.
Bedsitter people look back and lament,
Another day's useless energy spent.
Impassioned lovers wrestle as one,
Lonely man cries for love and has none.
New mother picks up and suckles her son,
Senior citizens wish they were young.
Cold hearted orb that rules the night,
Removes the colours from our sight.
Red is grey and yellow white.
But WE decide which is right.
And which is an illusion...

They don't want to teach kids about the Civil War because Abraham Lincoln was a... REPUBLICAN!!!!

It's ok. It'll be more important for kids to learn about the next civil war. Soon.
