"A knowledge of syphilis is not an instruction to get it" -- Lenny Bruce from a monologue about the South.
In that context read this article from today's WAPO. Could we please just let these States secede!! And why is Colorado running with this Luddite crowd? Weed is legal there now so please smoke a bowl and maybe it will restore your sanity.

The real fight in Jefferson County, Colorado occurred because the teachers union resent the election of conservatives, who now control the board of education. The union wished to set up future fights with the board. The proposal by the board was to "study" the history curriculum and determine whether it was fair and balanced. The US certainly has earned criticism in its history, but its merits far outweigh the criticism.
agree Tom, in recent years there are those who have proposed that it might have been better had we let the South secede...obviously it would have taken longer to outlaw slavery there, but they can't seem to stop fighting that war...the actual solution from my perspective would have been had they followed through on reconstruction, punished the wrongdoers and had a national campaign to educate children on the real history of the South not the glorified "honor" and "noble lost cause" jive that was allowed after reconstruction ended etc.
"Let the South secede". That illustrates the liberal passivity to the evil of slavery. That same liberal passivity to evil continues with the liberal attitude to Islamic atrocities.
