Actually, past present future is NOT the way which we look at time anymore. Now, it is past, future, and "elsewhere". Explaining what that "elsewhere" is takes a lot of physics but no, it is not just past present future anymore
Anyway, I agree with Chase and Steve. History should teach HISTORY, not current events. Current events are current, history is what has already happened. Hiding behind "well we are
making history" is a Sophistry and a weak one at that.
And no, teachers should NOT indoctrinate their students in any way, shape or form. Man this is why math is so much cooler than stuff like history or writing. Objectivity, baby.
