There’s a book out with this title, and I think it would be an interesting one.

Lies My Teacher Told Me: Everything Your American History Textbook Got Wrong (James W. Loewen).

My sixth grade teacher was very direct about these things. She said in so many words, “School textbooks are the way they are for many reasons. It’s up to you to find the truth.”

She was a good woman, that teacher. We even did exercises on spotting crap. She was heretical in many ways. I still think of her often.

“If you don’t vote like I do, then you are a selfish sociopathic ass…”

said I to another person never ever. It’s ugly AF.

Some of my “friends” on FB are passing that around this morning. I don’t find it to be OK. I’d unfriend them all, but it would curtail my ability to surveil.

“I will resist with every fiber of my being.”

“Let’s just get them into office and then hold their feet to the fire.”

Translation:

I will start posting mostly in ALL CAPS and increase the profanity.
