This is a re-post from my other site, Gulf South Free Press, I include for those individuals that may not be aware of my other writings.
I am astonished by the historical ignorance that many show in this country….this by a people that are supposedly proud of our history but yet will do anything to see that it is never written about accurately.
Historical Ignorance Is Staggering
If we keep going down this path of ignorance the damage will be irreversible.

What’s especially sad is the “revisionist” efforts to erase “inconvenient truths” and perpetuate hate, Thanks for sharing this.
I am so sad that education is all but dying. I am pleased that you enjoyed it chuq
The idea of dissolving the Department of Education is truly heinous…the concept of course being that each state has “states rights” to decide how to educate their populace…the key behind the abortion issue…you know, 50 individual fiefdoms with their own fascist Dictator.
An excellent description…..chuq
As a matter of curiosity, why do you have two separate blogs?
One is the main and the other was my state and regional blog that I changed sop two….chuq
“History” was one of the most boring damnable subjects that I ever encountered, both in the forced educational anal stimulating conundrum of my “Public” education in grade school and high school, but also in my encounters with obviously obsessed frail little creatures with goatees and thick glasses who passed for professors during my college years…I slept more through History of Civilization 101 than in any other intellectual malfeasance that I ever endured on the way to degree heaven.
That explains so much chuq
I was forced to buy the professor’s book on Hammurabian Law … and it was written in such scholar-eze that I could barely comprehend it…but the act of buying the book counted a few points toward our grade so it was convenient to possess the devilish tome. The good part is that the professor had a reddish colored dog named “Red” and both he and the dog thought that going out to the local ice cream shop and treating me to ice cream (Red got his share too) was “Really Living.” I guess the poor guy never got much excitement out of life or something…. unless he was hot on me …which I doubt and never really suspected.
What I said on GSFP, chuq.
Best wishes, Pete.
I think it is hard to understand anything in human affairs if you don’t understand where it came from.
I agree but there are too many that want to ignore our history…..chuq
I had history in high school and two quarters of world history in college. Did not cover much in depth. Just broad strokes. Most of the history I know comes from reading on my own, after I retired. True for most people while they are working full time. Lot of lack of information and also misinformation gets passed around and believed.
Social media has corrupted learning, in my opinion….chuq
