Bruce Bilmes and Susan Boyle That's back when Patriotism was
still taught in Schools along with History. . . . If we don't
teach our Heritage, we will loose our Heritage! I don't
understand. When was "patriotism" taught in schools, and what
does that even mean? And since when do we not teach "our
heritage"? That's U.S. history, right? I'm a little surprised
that people of your intellect and age don't understand what
patriotism means. I don't know, maybe it has no meaning for you.
Our "Heritage' is not U.S. History. Our "Heritage" is something
that is passed down from preceding generations; a tradition such
as love of Country and patriotism or the heritage of Freedom.
Having been a student of U.S. History all my life and a Teacher
of American History at Butler H.S. in Butler, PA, I can tell you
there's a big difference between teaching U.S. History and
Instilling the Principles of Patriotism in H.S. students.
History is more factual, Patriotism is more emotional; how you
feel about your Country and the freedom
