The Charlottesville version

Yeah but by tyrants they meant, like, people who don’t want slavery to be a thing

Growing up in VA, we had a whole year in elementary school that was just Virginia history, and then a lot more in the years after. It’s SO serious.

sugarblaster.bsky.social•1 day ago

Yes, same in Maryland!

I’m under the distinct impression that public education has declined steadily since we were in school sadly

sugarblaster.bsky.social•2 days ago

I can't speak for other states, but it's still part of elementary school history in Maryland ☺️

Howard county public schools right here

But named after a queen of England, which is a bit ironic.

I can check on how the Cornwallis surrender is going, right after the snowstorm, General Dr. Nova.

As someone who grew up a few hours march from Lexington, yes very much so.

Connecticut too. Recently, we have been marking the march of French troops under the command of George Washington, Jean-Baptiste de Rochambeau and the duc de Lauzun, 1781-2 through Connecticut on their way to victory at Yorktown in Virginia.

I wish I could find some examples in Roanoke. The only tyranny I find people resisting around here is the tyranny of awareness of news and politics. Never seen so much political apathy in my life. The quiet is so loud it’s deafening.

I never really bought the tyrant-killing thing because it's in the eye of the beholder. But if he's self labeling...
