Jeez I am slackin in the updates department! Let's see well I just recently started school and got an iPhone!(: uhm so I started an advanced social studies class and I am totally blown away at how fasinating it is. So the curriculum this year is American history? Yay? Ahaha so basically it's everything from 1942 to post civil war. I went home last night and had to read 33 pages of intense reading on how basically every American textbook is very bias and often tends to make things seem more perfect than they are. Columbus, if you have ever seen a painting of him it is a fake no one actually knows what he looked like! I was shocked to know that our textbooks also completely ignore the fact that Africans were the first people to actually to comeover to Mexico! And there is significant proof! Our books, in some cases they describe people like the egyptians as too stupid to build a boat! When there is also belief that they too Had traveled to the Americas long before Columbus! I was astounded about how biased my educational system was! How my mind wasn't being molded into someone who was completely aware of the past but someone who's mind had been shaped On a falsehood of perfect American heroes. In all honesty I was embarrassed that I had been so proud that Colombis founded America until I learned what he did to get his spit in the history books. Google it for more information! Well I'm gonna go sleep goodnight!
