Well it's true, or at least in my opinion.
Why? I was just at one of my mothers friends houses, and one of her relatives walks in. The girl is in(Or just got out of) High school. I'm in fifth going into sixth.
So I asked her when the Revolutionary war started. She had no idea.(!)
What the heck???????
Are schools neglecting teaching kids that tidbit of history? The day when our country began?
Yikes! Do schools at least teach that poem anymore? The first verse of it goes like this:
Listen my children and you shall hear
of the midnight ride of Paul revere
on the eightienth of April seventy-five
Hardly a man is still alive who remembers that famous day and year.
That does have tons of Historical errors, but it tells the date.
Signing off.
