You may be the only one out there - most of the kids I've met recently have no clue about history or social studies. Sad state of affairs, especially since one of my minors in my undergrad was history.... All the PC issues seem to get in the way of teaching kids to think, I always questioned at least some of the ideas put forth, I guess I was smart enough to realize history is written by the winners, except in the case of the Bible - it's the history of the 'losers'.
