Hello,
My name is Fred, which is not really important. I have already had two careers in my life, and my first real love was to teach History. Now is my time to finally follow my long lost dream and finally get to do what I wanted to do since I left High School. I have been all over the world and have seen what beauty the world has to offer. I have also seen ugliness, poverty, and cruelty and want to change that by proper education of our young people of this country. History is something that we must learn about, because if we do not learn of the mistakes of our past, we will be doomed to repeat them.
Further, we must learn by the good things that have happened through History and repeat them.
For instance, we have some good leaders in both the History of the USA and the World, and we have had some terrible leaders like Hitler and Stalin. By studying the speeches and actions of our leaders we can see the differences from say people who inspire us like Martin Luther King, Mahatma Gandhi, Malcom X, JFK, RFK, FDR, Eleanor Roosevelt, and many more.
From studying the lessons of History and Political Science, we can appreciate the necessary changes that we need to make our country better, through the teaching of the next generations as they grow up. I am talking about teaching the TRUTH, not some varnished version that we were given as children. If nothing else we need to teach the other side to the current existing version of History, namely the flip side of our known History.
