"If a nation expects to be ignorant and free,...it expects what never was and never will be." Thomas Jefferson

==============================

Sounds good as long as you don't get to establish the yardstick of non-ignorance as possessing a bachelors degree.

I agree there are different types of knowledge. The fellow who reads a book to figure out how to put in gas lines in a three story building gets credit, and the ability to deal with people gets credit too. But I'd like for most people to know a basically accurate history of our country, with the least amount of glossing over rough parts of our history. So we know where we came from and migration patterns into different parts of the country should be recognized. We should see ourselves as Americans, but we should recognize our different cultures.
