History used to MEAN something and people understood that teaching it was essential. Much like "government", "home economics", "shop" and other by-gone classes, our modern "teach-to-the-test" approach is an abysmal failure. Private religious schools are nothing more than thinly disguised indoctrination machines and do absolutely no better in education.

I cannot believe that we are living through the Fall of the American Empire and so many people are utterly unaware of the past, how it is STILL impacting the present or what this all means for the future of this nation (which is decidedly bleak and at the whim of a very small subset of deviant billionaires). History will look back on this and marvel at how calmly the population was manipulated into voting against their interests until their rights to vote or choose leaders was simply extinguished.
