And political correctness strikes another blow.  This is the kind of love muffinery that really get under my skin.  It seems like there is a trend developing that what every isn't liked about history, or anything for that matter, should just be glossed over or ignored instead of taught or learned.

In this day and age everything put fourth in front of you by "others" is a lie.  When you go out and seek the knowledge from those not vested in giving it to you, then there is the truth.
