I am from Anderson County S.C. ... Why isn't our history at least told in our local schools? Why are we only told by song and family tales? Could it be that our schools are only Federal govenment propaganda and indoctination now? And instead of indoctrination, we actally taught history and pertinante facts, wouldn,t we be able to form our own opinions?
