PL>   Over the past decades, as it appears to me, the educational system 
PL> has 
PL> somewhat floundered in it's responsibility to the students. It is 
PL> apparent 
PL> that in the area of American and World history programs the 
PL> educational 
PL> system had and continues to hold back, when dealing with the facts.
PL>   Teaching is suppose to stimulate the mind of students as it 
PL> provides them
PL> with the tools by which to acurately determine their own stand and 
PL> approach
PL> to a given event. How can the student accurately evaluate historical 
PL> events
PL> if the balance of facts is intentionally slanted?
    He can't, and he will get turned off as to studying history (or trusting 
teachers and professors) when he realizes he's being conned.
PL> History portrays European and American eras as being filled with 
PL> great 
PL> humanitarian deeds and, suppresses the atrosities and errors in 
PL> judgement. 
    Nowadays, particularly at the college level, social-studies courses and 
books romanticize non-Western cultures and suppress the ugly facts about 
hem.
    Ask yourself how many American kids are taught that the ancient Mexicans 
did human sacrifice of unwilling victims.
