As an educator, I am concerned about what teachers are teaching students about history. To me, history is a very very important subject. However, I fear that most teachers do not remember the Alamo.
Here are some of the important historical events and how I fear they are going to be watered down and PC’d up:
The Spanish Inquisition was a popular game show of the day.
The Donner Party was a big family birthday celebration.
Custer’s Last Stand was the final lemonade stand that George Custer ran.
Pearl Harbor was a jewelry store.
The 95 Theses was Martin Luther’s late college paper that he pinned to the church’s door to avoid a late grade.
Attila the Hun was a nickname from his wife.
Sherman’s March to the Sea was a series of fundraising band gigs to pay for new uniforms.
Boss Tweed and Tamany Hall was a 70’s singing duo.
The Battle of the Bulge was an episode of Oprah.
This is why I feel it is so important to keep history alive. That’s reason number 5 that I have begun a series of tests to reanimate the long lifeless body of John Paul Jones.
