If it is already being neglected for that reason, how can elementary and middle schools serve as an adequate foundation for US History instruction? I'm telling you: IT'S NOT!

We must be on guard all of the time as the liberals in our society want to totally wipe out any rememberance of our great forefathers. They are afraid that if our children and grandchildren read about them they may be inspirerd to be like them. Hopefully with organizations like yours we can prevent the rewriting of history or even exclusion of essential facts about our founding and the great statesmen that pledged their lives, their fortunes and their sacred honor to give us our liberty. Jesus said in John 8:32 "And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." Keep delivering the truth to the people and I believe they will follow the right road to freedom.

It is important for citizens to closely monitor this issue and demand the right reforms. We can not allow essential content to be pushed down into our middle schools as a substitute for what we currently teach in U.S. history and world history. Although I have seen some at DPI explain their challenges and goals with the public, Superintendent Atkinson is either deluding herself or the public if she thinks that teaching large portions of U.S. history and world history in elementary and middle school is an adequate substitute for what students should learn in high school. Anyone who has ever attended a middle school or a high school should know that. We need to use our elementary and middle schools to enhance understanding of history by using those grades as a preparation for advanced study of world and U.S. history in high school, not as a substitute for for key portions of it.
