To Blake, Why is it so wrong for public schools to teach the history of its founders, who happened to be European? Who elses history should US schools teach? Even though non-europeans have contributed greatly to this country, it doesn’t change the fact that the very political, philosophical, social and economic situation in the US is a direct result of the thinkings of Europeans who left their homeland and created a whole new country – hence the US. Do you think that if you lived in China or Iraq that the schools would incorporate your culture into their own cultural teachings? Not likely. Whether you like it or not – and you mustn’t dislike it too much considering that you chose to continue living here – this country was created by, and continues to be an extention of the European experience.
