HUNTINGTON BEACH, CA ADOPTS WHAT SHOULD BE NATIONAL POLICY

The Orange County Register reported:
“Huntington Beach leadership is ending the city’s current heritage and identity commemorations, such as Women’s History Month, and in their place will create celebrations focused more on the community’s history.
 The City Council’s majority on Tuesday night directed city staffers to develop a history program, with monthly themes that include the founding of the city, the discovery of oil and celebrating local libraries. The city in 2024 won’t formally celebrate Black History Month, Women’s History Month, or Pride Month.”
What a fabulous idea. We could have a Colonial History Month, Revolutionary History Month, Republic Founding History Month, Pre-Civil War History Month, and I think you get the idea. All Americans could learn the history of our nation, a history that has not been taught in our schools for a couple of generations.
The challenge would be to teach history and not propaganda for political purposes. This history would not concentrate on the skin color or the gender of those contributing but would focus on their accomplishments and contributions. We who have studied history know that people of all skin colors and both genders contributed and played a part in the history of the United States. The important thing we must remember is that they were Americans.
Thank you, Huntington Beach, for leading the way. This could  and should be done for the nation, for each state, and for our local communities.
