Nerd News + What Fresh Hell Is This?: North Carolina Public High School History Classes Won't Teach the American Revolution?

WHAT???? The curriculum will begin at 1877. WHAT????

1877?! Do you have ANY IDEA AT ALL how much important American history happened before 1877? The American Revolution? The Civil War? Hello?????

As if I needed any more evidence that edu-crats are (a) abymally stupid, and (b) apparently bent on the mass idiotification of the classroom.

I am so hoping that this report is wrong. But when it comes to edu-crats, I am a gloomy pessimist.

Now go here immediately and have some fun with the Declaration of Independence.

I'm just relieved they didn't decide to teach American history only from about late January 2009 to the present ...
