Education Fail
3 early 20-somethings discuss history, and… actually 2 do, with the other not making any sound — but that’s fine.
“This shirt, says ‘Department of Homeland Security, has these Indians holding guns and says something like — ‘Protecting the Homeland Since — something like 1600-something or thereabouts.”
You’ve probably seen this shirt. It’s pretty clever.
And its date is “1492” — a date that makes sense from that wry perspective — I don’t know which Indian Removal or war would count for the lad’s “1600-something”, but 1492 comes before that year.
Next came a conversation where one of them was just reading and learning something about the Japanese Internment during World War 2. (Odd because my last post concerned it.) Apparently for the first time. And here, I thought the Educational Establishment focused on these sins mercilessly to incubate a sense of Guilt — so they say.
