Kids should be taught **this** in school – self-sacrifice and love of country – not self-loathing for the color of their skin and hatred of their nation. George Washington describing the brutal march into Valley Forge, December 1777: "To see men without clothes to cover their nakedness, without blankets to lay on, without shoes by which their marches might be traced by the blood from their feet, and almost as often without provisions as with; marching through frost and snow and at Christmas taking up their winter quarters within a day's march of the enemy, without a house or hut to cover them till they could be built, and submitting to it without a murmur is a mark of patience and obedience which in my opinion can scarce be paralleled."
