“Pardon me for once again inserting a personal story, but I taught 8th and 9th graders during the Cold War. In certain areas of U.S. history (such as Manifest Destiny), I would ask the students to judge whether our country acted correctly or made bad mistakes. One day, a student asked me if I was a Communist since I was teaching them that America was not always perfect...” L. Verge.

Great story Laurie. I don’t think we’ve come any farther...sadly.
