Again Rudey points out a troubling trend... the forgetting of history because the cliche is true "If you don't learn from history you are doomed to repeat it" (or at least miss the warning signs of a repeat).
While most of you may think I'm a bleeding heart liberal, I do have issue with an educational system that takes the emphasis away from lessons history
