50 years ago, Ga and Tx. taught its history in jr. high. I have to wonder if still the case, with every damn liberal wanting history to be totally forgotten!!
I taught it today.
In fact, going forward for rest of the month we will be ankle deep in WWII. That's not even close to enough time. I still have Korea, Vietnam and and the rest of the 20th century to cover. But I dedicate the first part of Dec to the events leading up to today. The rest of the month we will cover the war, we will contrast and compare it to WWI and talk about the fallout of the war leading up to the Cold War. My students will write a 2-3 page (min) paper that will be due the day before X-mas break.
I've never gotten any push back from anyone about this.
