Students Haven’t Heard Of D-Day On Its 75th Anniversary
DCwire
By Daily Caller

Katrina Haydon on June 6, 2019

College students in Washington, D.C ., seem to have forgotten about D-Day on its 75th anniversary.

We asked college students if they knew what D-Day is and why it is significant to American history.
Even though thousands of Americans lost their lives storming the beaches of Normandy, France, college students had absolutely no idea what anniversary is marked June 6.

Check out TheDCNF’s “Man On The Street” video series with Katrina Haydon as she interviews people in America’s capital about the issues that matter.

Not surprising.  I said in another thread that this generation is either no longer being taught history or being fed some revisionist history *bleep*.  When the last of the Greatest Generation had left us, there will be no one to teach these kids the real history of this nation.

History/Geography hasn't been taught for generations,
being replaced by bullshit labeled 'social studies'.
Fundamental education is self-acquired through reading
and reflection as the Ancients well understood but we
moderns are enamored of bureaucracies like universities.
Most telling is the Hollywood assholery who bribed various
administrators several hundred thousand dollars to get
their 'chillun' into college.
For the schools, it's all about keeping the bucks flowing!!!

What they're taught now is that the Soviet Union was primarily responsible for defeating Hitler.

Probably.  I do know that, as to the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the kids are learning that the bomb was unnecessary because Japan was going to surrender (got this from a friend of min who was told this by her grandson).  The US, not the Japanese or the Nazis or the fascists, were the bad guys.    *****rollingeyes*****

@Absalom

I believe the school district I attended referred to history and geography as social studies.  This was late 50's to 1970.  But I don't recall the commie revisionist BS the kids learn today.

That's right. Throw Civics in there too, where I learned the fundamentals of our government.

It is no mere coincidence that Progressives made it their first mission to control the American educational system.

"The most terrifying force of death, comes from the hands of Men who wanted to be left Alone. They try, so very hard, to mind their own business and provide for themselves and those they love. They resist every impulse to fight back, knowing the forced and permanent change of life that will come from it. They know, that the moment they fight back, their lives as they have lived them, are over. -Alexander Solzhenitsyn

"Students Haven’t Heard Of D-Day On Its 75th Anniversary"

Gee, it's just part of their plan.

A quote from Orwell's 1984:
“Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped.
Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right.”

Spot on observation w/a reinforcing anecdote from history.
In 1885, some hundred years after the French Revolution, the Fabians
emerged w/their mission to Socialize the British economy as their key to power.
They had many avenues they could have traveled yet realized that the
transformation of culture/society would take generations.
As such, they chose to focus on the British education system and the rest is history.

John Dewey has done his work well.  And that is very unfortunate for this once great republic.
