Who, in particular, is responsible for this decimation of our history?- The provincial ministries of education for preaching and practising parochial regionalism and for gutting their curricula of content.- The ministry of bureaucrats who have pressed the "whole child" approach and anti-élitist education.- The ethnic communities that have been conned by Canada's multiculturalism policy into demanding an offence-free education for all Canadian children, so that the idea that Canada has a past and a culture has been all but lost.- The boards of education that have responded to pressures for political correctness by denuding their curricula of serious knowledge and offering only trendy pap.- The media that has looked only for scandal and for a new approach to the past, so that fact becomes half truth and feeds only cynicism.- The university professors who have waged internecine wars to such an extent that they have virtually destroyed history, and especially Canadian history, as a serious discipline.- The university presses and the agencies that subsidize professors for publishing unreadable books on miniscule subjects.- The federal governments that have been afraid to reach over provincial governments and the school boards to give Canadians what they want and need: a sense that they live in a nation with a glorious past and a great future.
