PEARL HARBOR - a day which lives in infamy

[shipahoy41]

Great Post Ship. Here in Ohio was listening to a talk radio show. One caller was a male student teacher who was in training in an eighth grade history class. Teacher asked the class the meaning of December 7th to Americans. In a class of thirty plus students not one raised their hand.

Stunned by their lack of knowledge the trainee went to another history teacher. He asked her if World War II was being covered in any of the school's history classes. The teacher said she was unable to supply him with an answer. Later he was called into supervisors office and was informed he had a letter of reprimand being filed on him by said teacher. Which in essence would destroy this young man's teaching career. He had created a hostile work atmosphere for female teacher. Radio show host advised him to hire legal counsel asap.

Parents and Grandparents please investigate just what is being taught in your local schools. As a veteran I found this very discouraging but all of America should be very concerned.

That is just so wrong in many ways. First of all that is NOT creating a hostile environment but rather expanding one's knowledge. I was a school principal in Akron Ohio and would have welcomed such a person on my faculty. Secondly of all, If you do NOT KNOW your history you are bound to repeat it. If you always do, what you always did, then you will alllways get, what you always got! Pearl Harbor can and might happen again only this time from North Korea.

This is a 5 star statement! I agree 100%.
