Age 14, I read "Gone With The Wind" and my heart broke for the inhumane way slaves had been treated. Age 16, (1966) while traveling in the south, I witnessed the "whites only" signs, and I was horrified! I grew up with racist parents, and reading one book made me realize how wrong racism was. Now, trump has dismantled the Department of Education. Other moves were made over the past several years to try to erase our checkered history from school books. The United States of America is not perfect, but we are our collective history - all of it. We need to look at a new way to rule. The democrats are voted in and we bring down the deficit; we create social networks to help those who are less fortunate. The repukelicans get into office, run up the deficit and do harm to those in need. Let's rethink our entire system.
