Saturday’s march reminded me that often we behave better than we talk. Sometimes I think the decimation of American history in the schools has left a generation ignorant of the creed and ungrateful toward our ancestors’ heroic sacrifices that brought it down to us. When I look at the Twitter commentary of the march I see out of context insults that distort the reality of what actually happened.
I actually have no snark for this one.

user-inactivated: There was an interesting opinion piece I read the other day, I don't remember where, but it brought up the idea that we're doing harm to our personal expectations of leaders when we teach history and overlook the flaws of the people that shaped our world. It had some points.
Edit: Here it is.
