    namvet. We all know....The Veteran who was asked had the RIGHT answer.
    Our younger generations born after the 70's (Vietnam era) are not being taught about such things SINCE, the teachers...who are barely older than their IGNORANT students, are IGNORANT too!
    I love to make Liberals Cry, and Whine.
    So, this is for them.
    GOD BLESS AMERICA - IN GOD WE TRUST !

    at, worse than not being taught about it our youth is being lied to, these liberal POS that call themselves teachers are straight out lying to the kids. My second oldest loved history and the stories he came home with where unreal, and being his teacher had taught him this BS I would have to prove to him I was right. ( nope he wouldn't take my word for it )

    Jeff, I spent 18 years reteaching my daughter.. Truly was time very , very well spent!
    That gal got a clear head , wonderful character and sweet loving disposition--amazingly strange that as she
    seems to effortlessly control that temper beast that rests within her. Its there Ive seen it slip out a couple times....my bloodline is
    plagued with it.... I see it in spades with Justin, have to fight it always for his sake.. --Tyr

    That's why I think my daughter's going to get fired. She's Gunny trained. And a school teacher.

    It's possible to teach facts without getting fired. However, one cannot put forth a 'rightest' agenda without problems. Unfortunately the same cannot be said of those pushing the leftist agenda, but should be.

    Truth is, it isn't the job of a teacher to indoctrinate their students into their own political or societal viewpoints, certainly not in public schools. Private? I don't think personally I'd want to do so, but some parents pick particular schools for that very reason.

    Yet teachers are to teach true history, not the lying swill being taught today IMHO. Teach the TRUTH, let the cards then fall where they may...
    Thats how it was once done , before the liberals (READ LEFTISTS) decided to first take over the school system and use it to brainwash the populace-(1960'S ONWARD).
    These days a conservative teacher faces a daunting task-- how to teach --truth--- without getting fired..
    My daughter once considered becoming a school teacher but I talked her out of it for the reasons I just related.
    Now she is a dental hygeinist that owns/manages her own dental practice..
    No drinking, drugs, smoking or gambling and straight as an arrow that gal...
    Could not be more pleased about her and how well she turned out..
    We parents must be teachers too, as I am sure you know .... --Tyr

    As I said, it's possible to teach the 'facts' without running into trouble. It takes some time finding resources, two come to mind right now that provide materials to encourage true thinking in the students, not just accepting and regurgitating some agenda. "Teaching Tolerance," which has materials for all grades and John Stossel's series which is really geared to high school, but some of the videos can be used in middle school.

    Truer words have not been spoken and I clued a teacher in on that fact a couple of years ago. The lies she told my son, My God I don't know how she kept a job.All because she didn't believe in war, that doesn't make the BS some spewed tryue, it just makes them liars., and cowards on top of it.

    War cares not a damn whit whether those foooooooools believe in it or not!
    It will claim them as victims just same as it would anybody else!
    Only difference is they will be the ones hiding deep in their cellars/basements crying for mommie.
    The rest of us will chose to live and to die, if need be, like men...
    And that my friend is why they hate us so dearly...
    As our actions will and do so dearly highlight their (LIB) Cowardice and Stupidity.. -Tyr

    My grandfather was in Operation Overlord. My father was in the TET Offensive. Not that the military runs in the family all the way back to 1773. I'm a direct descendent of John Adams and and indirect descendent of Samuel Adams. My mother's maiden name, as a matter of fact. You look at my grandfather and can't tell he's related to JQ Adams, you're blind.

    Pissing people off seems to run in the family.
