Nothing Important Happened Then Anyway.

I mean, they didn't even have electricity during the first 100 years of the history of the United States. Why should North Carolina make an attempt to teach your high-school children about the reasons for the struggle for independence, or the war between the states, or any of that old rubbish?

I mean, it's not like anything bad happens if we, as a nation, forget our history, right? Surely the kindergarteners' lessons about the relative merits of independence versus tyranny were sufficient. There shouldn't be any problem with picking right up in high school at oh, about 1950, eh?

As Neal Boortz tries to convince people who listen to his radio show:

WHY would you expect a school that is funded by, attendance to which is mandated by, where the curriculum is chosen by, and whose employees are paid by, the State to teach your children the value of independence and small government?
