1. WHOO!

I’m tired My Friend. If it is good and helps children and educates the young and he will destroy it. Imagine geek liberal policy wonks figuring what to cut. They’d keep this program after a 500 page detailed report. That would be great. That would be America.

2. From what we've seen, knowledge of history has been somehow overlooked and we need to reinstate it ASAP

Especially accurate history which the TFG administration has been trying to erase according to TFG's own prejudices.

Get some good rest, my friend. It's our only escape from the news which continues to get worse.

3. I was unaware of the History program

Awesome indeed. Educating our youth. What an incredibly liberal idea. I’m doing good My Friend. Trump makes us all tired. Sick and tired.

4. We need to go back to teaching accurate history in our schools

No 10 Commandments (unless it's a private school like I went to for 2 years), no avoiding DEI, since the Civil Rights Movement and the Voting Rights Act were an essential part of our history. Hell, TFG probably wants schools to skip over WWII and the Vietnam War.
