I see what's happening today and just smh. So much is because we no longer teach civics and history in schools. What they pass off as either is empty of inspiration. Worse yet, many teachers now are also ignorant of actual history or applying historical evaluation methods. I watched teachers plan lessons around 1st person documents, using them to make history fit their narrative. The students of course, clueless. Not the kids fault, but they aren't learning history.

Place more importance not on teaching their students, but rather admitting they only have specialized in some not-so-realistic subjects that earned them their teaching documents.
Honestly speaking. I SWEAR. I met a young lady in a craft shop with my wife who appeared to be in her possibly mid-twenties, but looked younger. I was looking for navy type models of ships which are few these days. I picked up the Revell kit of the U.S.S. Arizona and saw the price. I couldn't believe it and she heard me tell my wife it was too expensive (over 100 bucks). The young lady suggested I get a more Modern model of two destroyers (which were less than six inches long) not what I wanted, and she told me "Nobody even knows about that OLD ship!"
That about knocked me out of my shoes when I heard that. My wife grabbed my arm and we moved to another aisle in the store as I felt myself turning red.
That is the intelligence of a TEACHER? Teaching our kids today? No wonder they stopped teaching HISTORY in most Govt. schools. The teachers seem to be as Uninformed as their students.
GOD HELP US ALL!
I may be older than most. I may say things not everybody will like.
But despite all of that. I will never lower myself to the level of Liars, Haters, Cheats, and Hypocrites.
