The Community Action Civic Association (COMACTA) is deeply concerned about the lack of both quantity and quality in the teaching of American History in our schools. The quantity speaks for itself; statistic after statistic clearly indicates that students are not proficient in this subject so vital to the future of our nation.
What little is taught is frequently, and horribly, bad. Examples abound. "The People's History of the United States," a Marxist view of the US, has been used as a text in Washington, D.C. In Tucson, Arizona, "Occupied America," written by the radical Rodolfo Acuna, is among the prescribed texts. The book recommends the conversion of the Southwestern US into a "Chicano Nation" and advocates the killing of whites "if necessary."
COMACTA will focus on this national crisis. Look for future updates.
