#1 Like these history classes are worth anything anyway. Addition by subtraction.

#2 They want to replace History with Propaganda.

#3 It pretty much already is in the urban schools.

#4 Chicago leaders don't want to be Americans. Fine. You've chosen your tribe. Keep your own taxes, don't bother us.

#5 "And then Queen Hillary Rodham defeated Donald Trump, but the Russians colluded to overthrow the election"

#6 And Lincoln invaded the South to free the slaves. But, oh wait, that's taught in all the history books.

#7 ..miss that little thing with the pre-Antifa destruction of a federal building in Charleston harbor? Oh, and the South's invasion of Kentucky which declared neutrality.

#8 And throw in a naval blockade (aka act of war) by the North. Lincoln was a scoundrel.

#9 ..blockade in the first year was very limited by the small size of the early war navy. It expanded after that as construction picked up, on both sides.

However, I'm fascinated how both the black race hustlers and you are so focused on something that was finished over 150 years ago.

#10 There's a move guaranteed to make kids smarter (sarc).

#11 School's out forever (H/T Alice Cooper, COVID-19) so it's all good.

#12 Maybe they can teach Harry Turtledove's Guns of the South. It's more entertaining than Howard Zinn.

#13 Why not just close all the schools? At least that way the teacher unions won't collect dues and won't be able to buy politicians. The kids these days couldn't get any dumber anyway.

#14 History makes Democrats look bad (and stay bad) and America look good (over time). Can't have that.
