It always amazes me how violently cruel people can be to each other when their actions go unchecked when they have total freedom in their domination over others--from private personal relationships to wars.

In spite of that wacky school board that wants to only teach "positive" aspects of American history to students, I think it's imperative that we're all aware of the bad stuff, too. Ignoring those things we'd like to pretend never happened turns education into something closer to indoctrination and propaganda.Susan Flett Swiderskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09425315552148200073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4501852053743373610.post-49588769056391840192014-10-03T20:28:39.052-04:002014-10-03T20:28:39.052-04:00Wow.
