Oh no, I hadn’t even thought of that! I’m in the midst of the American Revolution. Just waiting to hear it when we talk about the timing of the Declaration of Independence 😬. If this fad isn’t over by the time we get to Gettysburg, Imma gonna crash out…

For many of us, it will have the opposite effect. It is much easier to see the cracks in our past for what they are and to understand that this administration is wielding the historical narrative as an instrument of mind control.

We study history because it shines a light on the struggles and lived experience of those in our past. It is beyond obvious this administration wishes for us to remain ignorant and blindly loyal.
