How much do you know about the history of your nation and your local area/s (where you have lived) compared to other people & are you satisfied with

with what you learned in your school about it?

I know quite a bit about the history of my country and my state. My mother was a teacher; she made a point of making certain we all knew. I grew up during a time that a lot of changes were taking place. They weren’t always discussed in school, but they were part of current events and we lived them.

It saddens me that now, in some parts of the country people are trying to censor historical fact, ironically groups who previously claimed to support "free speech". Apparently [b]teaching[/b] future generations about the mistakes we’ve made as a nation is more dangerous than risking repeating them. 😞
