It turns out that the year after I get out of my
county's school system, they bought new U.S. history textbooks. They had
no information on the Civil War. In addition, I've learned from my friends
still attending that in place of civil war history, they're teaching 9/11
stuff. Correct me if i'm wrong, but doesn't everyone over the age of 7
know what happened? My sister didn't even know what colors the different
sides wore! Now I must teach civil war history to all my friends.
Has anyone else been experiencing this? I'm sure that the civil war is
something that we're supposed to forget about in this time of abnormally high
patriotism, but isn't one of the most important reasons to learn history to
learn from the mistakes of the past? The worst part is, I live in the
south.
