History 101, or maybe 1936

Do We not Teach History Anymore?

When did we quit teaching history in school? I find it all well and good that schools invest in teaching kids new technologies, but if this is what we get by skimping elsewhere, I may have to make some revisions to my thoughts on how education dollars are spent.

On the other hand I think the point is well made, we did let Nazi Germany and communist USSR, because the Olympics are supposed to be about people, not politics.
