What will my kids learn about *?

[ButterflyBlood]

What will they read about him in their history classes? Will they be told of how much of a disaster he was?

1. Depends

on how much influence the Texas school board still has over the content of textbooks in the U.S.

It also depends on who wins the upcoming presidential election.

Oh and whole mess of tin-foil hat type things as well.


just my .02.

2. I will read the book with them

and point out any fallacies that may be in there.
I will tell them how much of a disaster he was.

3. In the information age...

counting on textbooks to record modern history is obsolete.

I'm going straight to the source: video clips, documents, etc. Can't filter that stuff.

4. take them to a miidnight showing

of the cult classic Fahrenheit 9/11....

7. Yes! Where we'll be throwing stuffed pet goats at the screen

during the 9/11 "7 minutes" scene.

And yelling "Say it!" as Bush struggles with the "fool me once..." line.

And squirting our squirt pistols at the screen during the "We don't need no water, let the M.F. burn ..." scene.

5. that he is the most idiotic, uncaring, dishonest...

hateful, corporate-ass-licking, arrogant, pretentious, ignorant, church-whoring, lying, son-of-a-beast, asshole to ever steal a presidential election and be appointed president by his buddies. that's what i'll teach at the gpandas school of reality.

6. Depends who writes the history books

Look at the recent sanctification of the very nasty Reagan. I guess it's up to us to encourage our children not to believe everything they're told at school.
