David McCullough not only writes about history but thinks about the teaching of history to our children. What they know, he says, is "comical." The problems include political correctness, the fact that teachers are trained in education rather than in subject matter, and teaching by theme (women, blacks, gays) rather than by chronology. http://ping.fm/TKvwr
