>>>>>Every high school history teacher I had was a coach. They used to also show up a lot in what was once known as "civics." I think it's because it's the teaching concentration you can take in college that does not require you to be proficient in math, science or English.<<<<< Oh, the horror, the horror!!! But I think you're right. And one can be as jingoistic as one's little heart desires once one is turned loose upon the students. No wonder we learned nothing but white-washed, deodorized history in high school. Know-nothingism perpetuating itself. And the alternative in college was, by and large, a bunch of Marxists. I majored in history in college, and did have some very good professors.
