It would help to understand him if you went to his museum. I went because I was on a road trip in the area and its really, really impressive. They give people tips on how to argue for creationism and I'm pretty sure I have a couple pictures of the museum itself as well as a kid's book I bought from their gift shop if anyone's interested.

This sounds soul crushing. I'd love to see it.

I was in rural PA too and it was 10th world, 11th back to America, and 12th was a weird thing that only like ten of us took that was basically "here's a thing, research it using firsthand sources and have a debate which I will judge". It was pretty good though.

Having family from rural PA, I'd agree that it was 10th world.

Wait, no, that's not what you meant

Despite the brutal horrors of ISIS, and despite the near-universal agreement that something must be done, even if reasonable people can disagree over what exactly that is, we must remember our own humanity at all times and act with greater mercy than our enemies, lest our fight against monsters turn us into monsters ourselves. Nor way me neglect our own shortcomings because others act worse than we do. A Good Cartoon.

I hate to even respond to a Rall, but realtalk: Has anyone actually advanced this view recently? I know a religious exception was tolerated because the numbers were, as I understand it, low enough to not be a big problem. The anti-vax contingent has suddenly found allies on the right who are literally adhering to our parody "If Obama said breathing good, would they stop breathing because breathing actually bad?", and the pro-not-dying crowd probably only accept exemptions in cases where the vaccine poses a credible health risk, which is pretty damned rare. I don't think I've seen a single person saying anything remotely close to Rall's strawfolks lately.

More slated rural PA school history experiences reporting in!

9th Grade - US history to around the Civil War
10th Grade - US histroy to almost the modern day
11th grade - world history
12th grade - mostly the US political system

I took a 1/2 year elective on European history that was newly created my senior year and another 1/2 year elective that was on modern world issues (we couldn't afford textbooks for those classes, but our teacher did manage to swing what I suspect were highly subsidized Newsweek subscriptions for the modern world issues class).

His full quote was about how Christianity has been used as an excuse for terrible acts in the past then brought up the crusades and inquisitions but also slavery and Jim Crow. Which makes all the complaints of "but the crusades happened such a long time ago! Why can't he bring up any more recent examples of Christians being bad?" extra hilarious.

quote:

Philadelphia, Pa. (CBS DC/AP) – Vice President Joe Biden told Democrats Friday that the past six years have been “really, really hard” for the country and the Democratic Party.
Speaking at the House Democratic Caucus retreat in Philadelphia Friday morning, Biden stressed that “really tough decisions” have faced both Democrats and the country as a whole.
“To state the obvious, the past six years have been really, really hard for this country,” said Biden.
“And they’ve been really tough for our party. Just ask [former DCCC chair] Steve [Israel],” continued Biden. “They’ve been really tough for our party. But together – and together — we made some really, really tough decisions — decisions that weren’t at all popular, hard to explain.”

I suppose I grew up in lefty-liberal central (Wealthy suburb with good schools in Eastern MA), but for us (as I recall it from middle school onwards) it was:

6th: Ancient history: i.e. paleolithic stuff, Egypt, Indus River Valley, China
7th: Geography, really tedious class
8th: US up to 1875
9th: More ancient civ. type stuff., I don't even remember. Except that one time I forgot that Homo Erectus (which we'd been taught about in 6th grade) was a thing and laughing for like two minutes in the middle of a group discussion.
10th: AP World History, spending actually comparatively little time on Europe, a lot of the class for the first few weeks was spent talking about Eurocentrism.
11th: AP US history. We spent a lot of time on labor, but not so much on the Civil Rights movement, but I think that might have just been poor planning on the part of the teacher (AP exams were coming up, and he wanted to do a weekish of review), the second half of the 20th century was really rushed.
12th: A whole bunch of electives for History and English, everyone was supposed to take one of each a semester. I took political philosophy, which was definitely Eurocentric, and American Pop Culture of the 20th century, which was the easiest class in my life.

Pretty sure I saw someone doing that somewhere. It was along the lines of "well it was justified because those drat muslims stole our holy land!" I can't remember if it was a political cartoon or like, a youtube comment, not that there's much difference at this point.

EDIT: You meant presidential candidates, not cartoonists. I am not good at reading today.

Southwestern Connecticut was really similar. Exactly the same stuff up to 9th grade. 10th was 20th century US history. We weren't offered AP World History but in 11th and 12th you could take AP US history or AP European history, but at least you knew what you were getting. We also had a civics course in 10th grade iirc.
