When I remind the f/a’s to follow protocol during lav breaks, occasionally one will react as if it’s a burden. Once they truly understand the history, the attitude vanishes...This is most certainly our generation’s Pear Harbor.
Never forget.
Bingo. A lot of people believe world history began the day they were born, and anything before is just to be ignored and be ignorant of.
Was talking to high school kids at a fast food place last Dec 7. I said, “today is Pearl Harbor Day”. Not a one of them had ever heard of Pearl Harbor. They vaguely had heard of World War II, but they could not tell me what century it was in or who fought in it. They knew Adolf Hitler was a Nazi, just like every Republican who has ever lived. But they did not know about the Concentration Camps. When I told them, half were horrified. The other half said I was lying. I don’t fault them as much as I fault the school system.
