Noah Webster: Every child in America should know his country's history

01/25/2012

"Every child in America should be acquainted with his own country. He should read books that furnish him with ideas that will be useful to him in life and practice. As soon as he opens his lips, he should rehearse the history of his own country."

-- Noah Webster, On the Education of Youth in America, 1788

Now that history in our state must begin with the post-Civil War era and go up to 9/11, public school history is further removing America's youth, particularly when they approach voting age, from the principles of their nation's founding. There is no more America in this nation's classrooms, just a government and masses to be governed.
