FED WANTS BANKS TO STRESS-TEST THEMSELVES

When learning history becomes history

In today's New York Times a small article on the front page describes the discovery of what I am sure is one of the few  remaining Nazi criminals .  How many teachers have the time to teach about World War II?  The Kamikaze pilots(very much like the the bombing attempts in the Middle East) or  the new  global image of the United States government via the  response to Hurricane Katrina?

How many students have the opportunity to learn about the development of the US Space program, the famous walk on the moon?

Hiroshima and Nagasaki?

Vietnam?

I am not going rant about how testing mentality has robbed our current generation of the rich sources history and social studies generate for the purpose of developing a deeper understanding and philosophy of human culture.

Nope. (Did I just do it?)

I'll just show the pictures
