Why Today's Youth Seem to Need Some Lessons in History and Racial Oppression!

The young Asian student begins her diatribe with the seemingly now heavily endorsed view of the past racial injustice, "Given that white women have never had to endure racism or colonial oppression . . . "  From what is taught today in educational classrooms K-12 through College and in the mainstream media, how could anyone disagree? 

Watch how one scholar takes it upon himself to give the young lady a "needed history lesson."  

Why is there so much foolishness being taught in history classes today? It's no accident that the only educational subjects that no state has ever been held accountable to a national standard are American History and Civics/American Government. Because no state is accountable for what   students know in these subjects, literally anything can be taught! Often, it's a false and
un-American narrative such as this young Asian student has received. Congress had the chance
to correct this oversight thirty years ago and failed to provide equity to American History. 

Our Latest Educational Posters--Civil War Mascots!

 Our Civil War ancestors' love of pets is something we all share with them. In some cases, their mascots came to embody the Regiments that adopted them! A few of the 'mascots' were more than what we might call "therapy pets" today--they fought in the ranks with their human comrades and weathered many a devastating battle! Next in our line of educational posters that the 150th PA Bucktail Regiment and the 111th PA Veteran Volunteer Regiment use in their 'living history encampments' are these two new additions below.  These can be downloaded and used by classroom teachers and other lovers of history by clicking the appropriate hyperlink. Send any great anecdotes or interesting stories about Civil War mascots to us so we may use them in the future.
