VIDEO: Mitt Romney Is Back

Monday  12 January 2015  / Hour 1, Block C: Mona Charen, NRO, in re:   Mitt Romney attacks Jeb Bush on education.  The little beavers in the educational establishment are always working to effect their vision of the world and shift the history taught to American students – are doing it via the AP college boards*, not Common Core.  American history in shrewd hands is a weapon.  As my children were going through grade school I constantly had to deprogram them.  In teaching our history we certainly must not present a sanitized version – we need to explain clearly our errors; however, this version emphasizes racism, sexism and Japanese internment. These are all historically accurate, yet oughtn’t be the primary foci of the entire 200-plus years.
