I use this in my classroom to set the tone for American History. We can not hide behind a false understanding of our history and expect our children just believe whatever is said in the world. They must be rooted in the truth and see that our founders understood the costs that may lie ahead, and that we must put faith first so that we can make good and proper decisions. Man will make mistakes along the road of life... that should be understood, but we must try and correct our path when light is shed upon the falsehoods and failures we experience. Sometimes it hurts to see what we really are and where we come from, but that is what we must understand if we are to see where we came from.
