U.S.A.! U.S.A.!

So he was a Communist?

 

Well, it's hard to dispute that any nation today that did what we did (conquering lands and displacing the people already there) would be viewed as evil and a threat to the world.

 

Andrew Jackson in particular would probably be hauled to The Hague and lined up in front of a firing squad.

 

Sorry, but the Trail of Tears will now be known only as the Trail of Awesome Awesomeness.

 

Trail of Tears is now Right To March, the precursor to Right To Work.

 

Trail of Tears is the Native American participation in the implementation of the Andrew Jackson Presidential Fitness program.

 

The Iran-Contra deal was just Reagan being a free trade pioneer.

 

Thank God there's no History of Islam course, or comparative religion course, in most high schools.

How would we present Muhammad? Would we include his marriage to Aisha, when she was just six years old. (Oh, but don't worry about it. He didn't consummate the marriage until she was nine-year-old.)

If the 'Mericans down in Oklahoma want some respect show to the forefathers, they're going to have to blow up a few defamers, not just try and cancel a class.

 

YF, I gather it has been a while since you dealt with the educational system ... but generally speaking, child rape is not something that high schools typically deal with in any history cases. Child rapes of thousands of years ago, somewhat less so even.

 

"In 2015, President Obama said, "We are not at war with Islam." No one else had ever actually said that, but it was hailed as important because, well, America was terrible until about 2008 or so, and by 2015 President Obama was well on his way to saving the country. He would go on to become a selfie stick advocate in his post-presidential years. Meanwhile, Islamic extremism was eradicated when former President Obama successfully lobbied for the Hearts and Minds Selfie Stick Act of 2023, as all radicals simultaneously put down their arms and put aside any mean thoughts upon receiving free selfie sticks from the U.S. government. Since then, beheadings have been replaced by embarrassing photos taken at jihadist reunion gatherings and posted on the Universal Internet, which is run by former President Obama's National Selfie Association."

Is Sally Hemings included in the new history books?
