At least they will have some idea that Troy existed.

I am continually dismayed by the lack of historical knowledge displayed by my customers.

I was discussing US 20th century history with my eldest daughter last night. She is trying to help a boy who is studying political history. This term he is doing US politics 1900 - 1945. With my general knowledge I knew more than he has been taught in six weeks.

Depressing.

Even those that live here are depressingly ignorant of US history.

I have a bumper sticker that reads: Custer had it coming.

You would not believe the number of people that have asked me what it means.
