I agree. As a 60+ year old woman who had children late in life, one still in high school, I think it is not only sad but disgraceful that history is being rewritten, leaving out all the true leaders who built this country. I've even heard about the desire to deface Mt. Rushmore because Jackson had slaves. Folks need to wake up to the fact that slavery wasn't a white American institution. It was world wide, and the folks who initiated the selling of those slaves were from Africa, yep, neighboring tribes. That being said, there were heroes of wars throughout history who aren't PC these days, and unfortunately my children have received a very distorted presentation of "heroes" in their history, while the true heroes are being deleted. My uncle died in WWII, my dad and uncles fought in WWII and did not want to talk about the war, however, my daddy talked of his and other soldiers giving their measly k-ration to starving kids in the war zone. These are HEROES. God bless all of them!
