US History, Government School Style

Do you dare to know what our kiddies are learning in eighth grade US History since school started two months ago here in Hudson? If you figure lessons have been learned about Jamestown, The Mayflower, or The French-Indian War chances are you would be correct, but you are wrong! The kiddies have been learning geography [the shapes of states and their capitals], Indians, and now have made the giant leap over several hundred years of American History to immigration. Now its been learned that a film was shown recently in which one of the themes was that people need to respect gay people. How is that for a quality education in US History?
