Art Destroyed, History Erased

 

History of History

 

History is being destroyed.
Our Military Heroes and Founders are being destroyed.
A highly organized attack on the USA is underway from
Within our Borders.

History

 

1️⃣ Stranger than Fiction.
2️⃣ I learned the separate pillars of Government in High School 1975.
3 pillars are the Genius of Our Founders.
Being Violated.
3️⃣ I’m Not Persuadable.
I am angry
4️⃣ 🧢 Summer reading list 📚 https://t.co/qRgW3I2U10 pic.twitter.com/Rw3FVcZ8br

Instead of Destroying Historical Artwork @VP Teach History.
Add Monuments for Widows & Orphans, Starving, Homeless on Both Sides. History Lesson: Neither Side were Saints. General Robert E Lee Negotiated Surrender.

Destroying Artwork depicting History is in the Karl Marx Playbook

Pieces of String.. Extra Credit Assignment.

Empty store shelves.
Will the students feel that like kids felt in the 1930 Depression?
Our parents heavily affected by their Great Depression, 90 years ago. I have a few food rationing stamps. Will your students hoard like many of our parents? https://t.co/JZOiyp0Fgp https://t.co/rQ55l582wE pic.twitter.com/glapzxUW4h

It has been a spectacular stretched out foliage season in the north country.
The local station, Channel 3 did a great story about Early American battles.
New York shares Lake Champlain shores with Vermont.

Great historical sites all around this lake,
Well worth seeing.

My most memorable History class was with Jack McCarty.

High school Junior year I believe.

It was mandatory which meant

Everyone had to go in order to get a high school diploma.

Mandatory also meant

people attended whose feelings about history ranged from

Love to Hate,

interested to absorbed,

already interested,

never interested,

disgusted,

hating this,

will get back at teacher,

or 

nap time.

Jack was so eternally enthusiastic,

that I forced myself to be interested,

then, as I listened to him in a room littered with

snoring, fidgeting, disinteresteds,

There I was being interested in history,

to this day.

Sometimes it would be so un class-like,

The students began losing interest

fast.

Jack would climb onto his desk and orate form there.

It worked for awhile.

Eventually the class would deteriorate again until the bell sounded for us to move along.

Thanks to Jack,

for My love of history.

Here's a movie I did of a reenactment...

dedicated this time to Jack...

History

History

Comes in all forms,
Written, recorded, verbally relayed.
Some memories faded, gray,
Some clear and All are different
(Than someone else's recollection.)
These memories,
Some are mine,
Others are projections of stories I heard.
