The Cult of Lincoln

Tuesday, May 06, 2003



I used to be under the impression that my fellow students were of the well-informed, well-educated variety. Today, as we read the Albert Speer Playboy interview, I found that there are girls in my senior English class that don't know what The Third Reich or the SS were and can't pronounce swastika. Marcelina and I spent the period goggling over our classmates' lack of commonplace historical knowledge. Kristallnacht I can forgive. Luftwaffe is pushing it, but still tolerable. I cannot accept a senior at a highly-respected college preperatory school that cannot pronounce Fuhrer. I weep for the state of our educational system.

Sidenote: Does anyone know where I can find Tanja's drawing of the old WOFS mods dressed as Nazis? I was giggling about it today, and I wanted to see it again.
