Cheney’s Wife Scuttles Education Department’s History Booklet. It mentioned the United States History Standards, which Mrs Cheney opposed. If you look at the attendant website, I think if students walked away with even a glancing knowledge contained herein [here’s a sample of the Revolutionary War section], America would be far better off.
Damn, I should be a history teacher. I love this stuff.

Nothing like the transparency of this Administration, eh? As I said yesterday, I’m done with these folks. Just completely over.
I’d like to be done with them too, my friend, but in a clear demonstration of the worst tendencies of our fellow humans we seem to stand a pretty good chance of seeing Bush get four more years. Looking at how Delay is reacting to yesterday’s wrist tapping from the Ethics Committee, I can see this becoming a very, very dark time.
Commenting is not available in this weblog entry.
When was this bitch elected? Our deficits, both at the federal government and education levels, are off the hook and Lynn Cheney made both worse here. I especially like the following line from the article, because who needs clarity:
“However, neither department officials nor Cheney’s office would discuss the episode in detail. Both refused to allow interviews with the staffers involved.”
