Hahah... they basically have. It's pretty much left out of any documentaries and most online publications that reference him. When I mention it, people don't believe it and have to look it up.
Over the past 150+ years, almost every devastating and horrific thing this country has done, or has had happen in it, was caused by left-leaning people. Invariably there's a whole host of excuses... "so and so were really Republicans at the time... the Republicans were the Democrats..." as if I'm expected to believe that in the late 1800s, the Republicans were really Democrats, and then in the 1940s, the socialists (which were Democrats), quickly changed into Republicans (I think?) and then QUICKLY changed back into Democrats again during the 1950s, and then quickly turned back into Republicans (or something) just before the passage of the Civil Rights movement, and then quickly changed back again by the 1970s to protest the war in Vietnam.
And then obviously when we talk about KKK, Internment Camps, Eugenics / Planned Parenthood, Agent Orange, the slaughtering of 300k Japanese at the hands of the only nuclear weapon ever used on a civilian populace in history (even though it's always the Republicans who are supposedly going to nuke the world)... those aren't really Democrat things, even though every single one of them was done or initiated by a Democrat.
Or how desegregation of schools, the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 being done almost entirely by Republicans DESPITE massive push-back by Democrats... were all /actually/ done by Republicans who were really Democrats, even though... obviously, Senator Byrd, former Grand Master of the KKK, or Prescott Bush, who was a Republican (and voted for the civil rights act) and Al Gore's father, who voted AGAINST the civil rights act (lots of dynasties in American history apparently).
Or how the creation of the National Park Service, the first National Park, the EPA, conservative-majority SCOTUS ruling which threw out / rescinded all the anti-gay Democrat passed legislation like DOMA or Proposition 8 (and several others) were all done by Republicans / conservatives... but somehow these were actually Democrats that did it, even though... that can't make sense because they were supposed to be flipped previously because of other legislation that Democrats ****ed up on.
Yeah... I actually don't even understand how Democrats are able to comprehend history... maybe this is why they resist teaching it entirely.

I love how all of those people interpret events and individuals from the past. Attempt to get in their heads. From personal journals, personal acquaintances journals, etc. Then you've got today's intellectuals. Law scholars, phycologists and the like TELLING us who they were and what type of gourmet dish they would love to eat present day that wasn't available back then. "See how he's standing in this black n white early photograph? His stance? How his right elbow is at that angle? This means <blank blank blank>. Yet in this text and this other photo, the fingers in his left hand are partially closed except his pinkie. By looking at this information, including how he'd always capitalise the letter 'T' whenever he penned the word 'The' in all his writings, combined with his favourite song he'd whistle that a few fellow solders noted in their letters home to their wives combined with the date it was taken means <blank blank blank>."
If you didn't REALLY personally know them, then you can't honestly and factually know everything about them.
History revisionism. Palm and tea-leaf readers. No different than those who take Jewish and Christian texts, scramble the meaning to justify ones position on a topic.
Tell us rinselberg, what would ANY of those who quill inked their signatures think of how LEFTISTS are removing their names from the history books? Let's get some grant money from big-gov and start a study.
They hate/like the writers when it suits them.
F'n hypocrites.
This is all reminding me of how my physical education/health teacher (hippie woman) in 7/8th grade would tell us all how most all male names were derived from women's names. Then I got my social studies/history teacher (another hippie woman) in 11/12th grade telling us all how ALL music and instruments came from Africans.
Research into the past can only provide clues, but nothing 100% absolute.

Police fatally shoot person trying to enter Alabama school
https://www.msn.com/en-us/n...4278876da126c4a58854
GADSDEN, Ala. (AP) — A person who was trying to enter an Alabama elementary school where a summer program was being held was shot to death by a police officer Thursday morning, authorities said.
Gadsden City Schools Superintendent Tony Reddick told reporters that a “potential intruder” went to several doors trying to get into Walnut Park Elementary School, where a summer literacy program was being conducted for 34 children. All the exterior doors were already locked, he said, and the principal sought help when she realized what was happening.
Etowah County Sheriff Jonathon Horton told The Gadsden Times that a police officer from nearby Rainbow City was working as a school resource officer and encountered the person, got involved in an altercation and called for backup, Horton said. At least one other officer responded and the person was shot to death.
No students were hurt, sheriff's officials said. “All kids are out” of the building, Reddick said, and most didn't even realize something had happened.

“We don't know the potential of what could have happened had those two officers not responded the way they did, so we very much commend them for that,” Reddick said.
Authorities didn't immediately release the identity of the person who was killed or any details about the altercation, including whether the person who died was armed or why they might have been trying to get into the school.
The Rainbow City officer suffered minor injuries, Horton said.
Gadsden is about 60 miles (100 kilometers) northeast of Birmingham.
An appropriate response? Wasn't there and not enough details to make any kind of judgement but, based on recent events, only a fool or an extremist would attempt to break into a school.

Leftists gun grabbers have made a cottage industry out of attempting to "interpret" / "reinterpret" and pick apart the words of the 2nd Amendment in their never ending quest to try to CANCEL the God given right.
What does "well regulated" mean?
What does "militia" mean?
What does "necessary" mean?
What does "security" mean?
What does "free State" mean?
What does "right" mean?
What does "the people" mean?
What does "keep" mean?
What does "bear" mean?
What does "arms" mean?
What does "shall not be infringed" mean?
They've been beating this same dead horse of semantics for over a century.
Ronald's new "hero", Perfesser Thomas P. Crockpot , is just another in a very long line of blathering Leftist activists trying the same old act.
Leftists gotta Leftist
...so they engage in trying to define and redefine things to suit their own political ends.[This message has been edited by randye (edited 06-09-2022).]

Clues... does WonderBoy have one? Some clues are more impressive than others.
Garrett Epps, JD., examines the text of the Second Amendment and analyzes its original meaning by drawing upon his knowledge of the Articles of Confederation, which preceded the establishment of the Constitution of the United States in 1789. The Articles of Confederation were the "Constitution", before the Constitution that we have today became effective in 1789.
"The Second Amendment Does Not Transcend All Others"

Epps...Epps.?.?
Related to Ray Epps? The probable Jan6 FBI plant that got swept under the rug quietly? Where left COMMIE leaning FlakDodge sites provide 25% of the context?
Go on, post another 'self acclaimed scholar' article dissecting what words mean. We all know leftists LOVE to change the definition of words to suit their FAILED narratives.
