Dear President Schreiber,

  Enclosed you will find a True History CD and you may feel free to make all the copies you wish, or you can just toss it in the  trash, as I am sure many have been over the years.  Our history is being slandered, lied about, and rewritten in order to pacify a few disgruntled, uneducated people who have been indoctrinated with Marxist rewritten history. The continual attacks on all things Southern and Confederate is nothing less than cultural genocide perpetrated by cultural terrorists and has the distinct smell of Nazism all over it.  Our schools are supposed to be in the business of education, not indoctrination.  The truths contained in this CD are not taught in our schools.  Why?  Because it does not fit the socialist agenda which has been pushed for over 150 years.  The truth is not always a pretty thing.  The truth about Lincoln is not pretty.  The truth about the Northern armies illegally invading the South and burning, looting, murdering, and raping their way across the South is not pretty.  The fact that African slaves were brought here by Yankee slave ships is not "convenient" to be taught.  The fact that there were free blacks who owned slaves is not "convenient" to be taught.  The fact that the War of Northern Aggression was NOT waged to free the slaves, but to force the legally seceded states back into the union for the purpose of collecting excessive tariffs, to plunder its natural resources, and to implement a large centralized government is not "convenient" to be taught.  The truth is, if the real history of the War had been taught all these years, we would not be seeing this cultural genocide taking place resulting in the destruction and removal of our statues and flags, and the renaming of parks, streets, and schools.

   The saying of "garbage in, garbage out" has never been more true than when it comes to the issue of education.  A perfect example is the recent student walkouts due to "gun violence".  These kids have been indoctrinated to believe a socialist agenda and are demonstrating to have their rights taken away. Let me repeat; they are marching for the government to take away a right given by God and guaranteed in the Constitution.  This is the result of indoctrination, just as the marching against the Confederate Battle Flag and Confederate statues is the result of indoctrination.  We need to be teaching the truth, not some Marxist leftist ideology.  We need to teach the Constitution.  We need to teach the real reasons for the War.  We need to teach the horrors of Reconstruction.  We need to teach about WWII and the holocaust.  We need to teach about the evils of communism and the millions of people murdered by communist dictators in the 20th century.  The erasing of our history by renaming schools, parks, and streets is just plain wrong. These Confederate heroes were not fighting to preserve and perpetuate slavery, and neither were the Northern armies fighting to abolish slavery.  The simple truth and facts are readily available, but people don't want to hear the truth. 

   When people disagree on an issue, both sides should listen to what the other side has to say.  We Confederates have listened for 150+ years to what the North, media, and academia has to say, but nobody wants to listen to what WE have to say.  The facts are clearly not with the orthodox teachings of our history which has gone on for far too long.  Changes need to be made.  Are you at least willing to read what our side has to say about history?

Unreconstructed,

Jeff Paulk
