Georgian Education Goes from Bad to Worse

Hot on the heels of Georgia's banning of the word "evolution" from the classroom comes an examination of the history portion of those same guidelines. It seems that the Civil War has been banished from the classroom as well. Even keeping in mind that the Civil War is probably as controversial in Georgia as evolution, how any school system can think that skipping over the most significant event in the nation's history. Of course, they'd probably teach it so poorly that it would not be of great use to the kids, anyway.
