Star Member albacore (1,122 posts) 7. I taught American History to HS seniors for 30 years...I left out some important stuff... because it wasn't in the pre-Internet knowledge base... but I always was straight with the kids about our past. I had some parents object, but I had the facts to back my position.Of course, this was a rich, suburban school with educated parents. I had it easy.Today.... I have NO idea how I would teach, since facts seem irrelevant to about 30% of the population.My hat is off to you. We need you in the trenches, but for your own sake, GTFO while you have your sanity.
