History through White-Colored Glasses 0

South Dakota’s governor wants to teach a “true and honest” (sic) version of American history that somehow does not mention America’s original sin of chattel slavery.

As someone who trained as an historian and whose ancestors wore the grey, I find the denial delusional. And vile beyond words.

Afterthought:

If one’s only option for protecting one’s political position is to lie to oneself (and others, including students), perhaps there’s something wrong with one’s political position.

This website does not track you.

It contains no private information. It does not drop persistent cookies, does not collect data other than incoming ip addresses and page views (the internet is a public place), and certainly does not collect and sell your information to others.

Some sites that I link to may try to track you, but that's between you and them, not you and me.

I do collect statistics, but I use a simple stand-alone Wordpress plugin, not third-party services such as Google Analitics over which I have no control.

Finally, this is website is a hobby. It's a hobby in which I am deeply invested, about which I care deeply, and which has enabled me to learn a lot about computers and computing, but it is still ultimately an avocation, not a vocation; it is certainly not a money-making enterprise (unless you click the "Donate" button--go ahead, you can be the first!).

I appreciate your visiting this site, and I desire not to violate your trust.
