Learning History

I guess Eric Johnson only learned that history contains bad as well as good things. Fair enough. He also seems to have learned that you can eliminate the bad things by destroying statues, monuments, etc. Perhaps books will come next. He is too young to have seen the periodic revisions of the Soviet Encyclopedia, which went to subscribers as Soviet ideological requirements dictated.
