        @WeathersbyWI I'm guessing Ken Burns would strongly disagree with ol' Ron.

        I thought he didn't want "liberal indoctrination?" Because his docs don't mince words and lay out what RJ would call liberal pov

        Well Sen. Johnson & I both want to end things. He wants to end critical thinking in education and I want to end time left in Senate

        He's obviously never been in a classroom where a documentary film is being shown. Students learn almost nothing from docs.

        @HuffPostPol Frankly alot of what is taught in HS as history in the US is propaganda not history. Which pisses me off.

        Less true than when I was in HS (1973), but still too often the case. Curriculum comes from the state & text cos.

        Have you looked at some of the texts coming out of Texas lately? Slavery is called Trans-Alantic 1/2

        I for one learned more about the Civil War from the Ken Burns doc than I did in AP US History. But, he's talking about college

        True. In terms of basic knowledge of baseball history - we are woefully behind other industrialized nations. How can we compete!

        The others are gems too. Though Baseball is the only one I've seen 25 times.
