The Sons of the American Revolution annually sponsor several Middle and High School teachers, from across the country, at the Valley Forge Freedom Foundation for a week long in depth exposure to Revolution War History. Recently one of these teachers was the speaker at our State Managers meeting in Folsom, CA. She effervesced with her pleasure of being chosen to attend. She told us that the State approved text graciously used 3 pages to cover the revolution. How can we expect our children to understand their heritage. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of GMF Sent: Wednesday, November 22, 2006 12:25 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [MFLR] teaching history in schools I cannot comment at the moment on what is taught at the elementary level.
