What To Do About a SW User Who Thinks Hawai'i and the Philippines Belonged to JAPAN on December 7, 1941?

Clearly, we do not spend enough money on education in this country. And it will only get worse under Trump.

Nothing to do with Trump or money. It is agenda not money. Lots of false teaching in the departments of education all over the world regardless of how much or little money is spent or who is the leader of the nation.

History matters. Facts matter. And the truth matters.

Trump blamed Canada for burning the White House in 1814.

@beckyromero So you don't know that the white house used to be the brown house until Canadians set it on fire and the Yanks painted it white to cover the fire damage?? Maybe it is you that needs a history lesson.

Little anal retentive tonight, are you? Don't have any Dulcolax? Doesn't the Canadian health care system cover that?

At the time of the War of 1812, the White House was technically referred to as the "Executive Mansion."

The name "White House" was made official by President Theodore Roosevelt.

But we are talking about the same building.

No different than if someone today referred to Rogers Center as having opened in 1989 (when at the time is was technically called the SkyDome).

@beckyromero Your sense of history is completely lacking. Too Funny!!!
