*blinkblink* Wow, they are serious... as idiotic a scheme as they're hatiching, wanting to ban bags like that, they actually sound serious.

They are rewriting history. It's scary. I try to give my students the truth in language they understand. I don't give opinion when teaching social studies, just facts.

It was amazing to me how many parents told me that they, themselves found this interesting and never learned it.
