History is the paved pathway leading to the stepping stones of the future. History is everything, and here's why.
"The chronicle of historical events teaches us—bit by bit by bit—about civilization, human nature, and its consequences. Imagine two men after a centuries-long journey in time:
One was asleep all the way; the other was awake. The latter witnessed every triumph and calamity, learned where beauty flowered and where it died, watched the greatest and most inglorious fights of good against evil.
Which would you choose as a leader? As a friend? Which would you rather be, the man who saw everything or the man who saw nothing? Your answer shows why you should study history." Marilyn vos Savant
The problem is we no longer teach history, we're teaching the leftist lies and propaganda from misfits like Howard Zinn, Ward Churchill, and Nikole Hannah-Jones.
For decades America allowed the "elitists", the so-called experts, to determine what was history, the direction America should go, and the values America should embrace, and it was what communists called the "slow march through the institutions", and it started in the 1890's and never stopped, but perhaps now that will change.
Leftism is like rust, it never sleeps. I've used that line for many years, and it's not what you think. When you say rust, most think of it as the degradation of metal via oxidation, and it is. But the rust I'm talking about is a fungal disease of wheat, and on his dying bed that statement was one of the last things said by the greatest man to have lived in the 20th century, Norman Borlaug, who saved a billion people from starvation.
Rust never sleeps, and neither does leftism, and it's just as infectious as rust. Leftism is evil, and we have, starting with the French Revolution 235 years of history that proves it. In the 20th century alone these leftist monsters murder over 100 million innocent people to push their tyrannous goals, and they're still doing it openly, and the world yawns. Virtually everything they support are in point of fact irrational, misanthropic, and morally defective crimes against humanity.
The foundational values of leftism are greed, hate, envy, lust, and violence, which is why they have so much in common with Islam, which over almost 1500 years of history has slaughtered and enslaved hundreds of millions, and they're still doing it, and their murderous actions against Jews in Europe is the canary in the coal mine, and the Jews world is getting smaller, and less safe by the day, and the left is just fine with that. Islamists are even being touted by the left and the Pravda media as the victims of Islamophobia.
Evil never sleeps, history proves it, and it's time we started paying attention to it.
Update: Besmirching American History on our Dime by Clarice Feldman It seems that we are paying super-woke people to denigrate our history and culture, and because of the way in which the governance of this important institution is set up, there’s little power for the White House to quickly change it.
