[samiaseo75]

Cheney believes that our heritage as a nation is being lost because the nation's schools and colleges are not emphasizing history. In order to avoid embarrassing and divisive public opposition to the policies of the U.S. government, students must be programmed to believe that the principles upon which this nation was founded are still intact.

Students must be taught to appreciate “...the ideas and ideals on which our nation has been built....If there were one aspect of schooling from kindergarten through college to which I would give added emphasis today, it would be American history.”

The version of history to which from K phone number list-through-college is the one in which the U.S. government is faultless in world and national events and its interventionist policies in sovereign nations are designed to make the world safe for “democracy.”

The report notes that recent comments from the nation's college campuses in response to the Bush administration's “war on terrorism” are in stark contrast to America's reaction to the attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941. “Everyone wanted to cooperate and feel like they were helping the country,” ACTA quoted Brown University political science Professor Elmer Cornwell as stating.
