... not right out the door though?   ....and OTOH, his personality softened 
it somewhat....

I can't imagine us  in the future when the Prez will be someone in their 
later 40s or 50s.... Education, especially history, is NOT what it once was, 
even though there's more of it than ever.

I remember being shocked in the late 90s during an American History text 
revision (before I knew how perverted TX was about this, and how much they 
effected the national textbook market) when they started eliminating 'stuff' 
from the 1700s and adding in things like Desert Storm. What???

At least here in TX, the requirements for history (stop reading if I have 
ranted about this previously) at the High School level are: 1 semester of 
history - your choice (American or European), 1 semester of Government.... 
plus in their 12 years of grade school/middle/high, Texas History is taught 
twice - a state requirement AND also a requirement in University.  What kind 
of context of society from Ancient Greece through the 20C do you have with 
one semester???

rant off...
