Being in the world of history and museums every day, it scares me to death to see what many in charge of such programs are doing to our history and interpretation thereof. It appears that qualifications and education no longer matter, especially in smaller institutions under local government funding, when it comes to hiring practices. Our cultural heritage, if not already dead, is dying - or being totally transformed because many of those being placed in charge don't know their history, don't know about how to teach it, and frankly don't care about learning as long as the paychecks keep coming.
