    Because sometimes I want to test the limits of my patience, I am watching the WH Conference on American history. I am assuming they have Ben Carson on the panel because they couldn't find another Black historian.

        Now they are talking about history being distorted by an act of policy and correcting history. "America, freedom and humanity is at stake," said Dr. Larry Arnn.

        There is a contest now for understanding of our reality and I thank the POTUS for his interest in this topic, Dr. Larry Arnn. They have a panelist who wrote, Debunking Howard Zinn. She is talking now. She calls it fake history.

        "People reading it cry and get angry. Sometimes taking to the streets." Dr. Mary Garbar "This is not to say every protestor attacking police and tearing down statutes has been directly inspired by Zinn, but it has definitely influenced it."

        Now they are talking about activists and riots. Portland has been named by ever speaker. "Who rights the script of riots? It is clear, campus activists, and some faculty. These truly radicalized students bring their riot strategies to communities." Dr. Peter Wood

        First jab at critical race theory is from Dr. Peter Wood. "The current wave of protests comes from the radical left on college campuses. Those of us who cherish Western Civ, we need to hold higher ed accountable."

        Dr. Allen Guelzo is from Princeton because, apparently, all higher ed campuses are liberal and leftists. He sounds like he is reading an audiobook. I vaguely caught something about Adam and Eve. My ears have closed.

        I just had an aha... Something that I knew, but watching these panelists talk about "the pain of despair and discouragement" of knowing the history that doesn't only "build up" is really unbearable for them.

        "One of the functions of history is to help with our shared memory," said Dr. Bill McClay and it's amazing that people can use these words and still want to blot out large portions of history. He wants a history that is "truthful and inspiring."

        Rebarbar got an NEH grant and is developing a curriculum. He is upset that on the AP text the word "property" is negatively associated w/ being unable to vote. If Ss only know negative "What does this suggest to students about needing to respect the private property of others?"

        Jordan Adams is a former MS and high school teacher and now is in teacher education at Hillsdale College. "Mediocre teaching is hard...many students have never encountered the love for American history...topics like system racism blinds students and tears down their country."
