well lol if these people wanted to give those kids a real history lesson and example of how life was back then they could have some confederate solider actors bring out a bullwhip, and make the black kids walk around all day with cotton sacks, and when the kids got home at the end of the day and their parents ask " how was history class today? " they would have an interesting day at school to talk about.

@hughsnyder : Iwas thinking the same thing. I used to teach elementary and it took most of the time to just address the pile of lies that the kids thought of as 'truth'.
