That's a pretty short US History class.

It's not just history class.
We have calculators so it's not important to know how to add/subtract/multiply in your head.
We have spellcheck so it's not important to know how to spell.
We are electronic and digital so it's not important to learn how to write cursive.

I didn't argue that it shouldn't be a part of the lesson. I didn't say to not teach it. Nearly every single law, rule or regulations were revised during it's writing. These are something interesting to note but the discarded parts aren't that important.

When idiots write text books you get idiotic text books.

Which is why liberals should never write textbooks.


Oh, and yes, "evolution" hardly qualifies as "science". It's just a ragged theory with more evidence against than for.
