Swiped from acroyear70, Ten Questions to Ask Your History Teacher

This is a direct parody of the 10 Questions Discovery Institute wants to be asked of biology teachers, presumaby from students who are in school to convert rather than learn. The wonderful thing is, of course, when you take the exact same question out of something people don't really understand (biology) and put it into something they more or less do (American history) suddenly the stupid shouts out loud and clear.

Why do textbooks use drawings or “artist’s conceptions” of “George Washington” as evidence that he existed? Why does no single history textbook anywhere point out that there are no photographs - zero! - of “George Washington” in existence? Why are we told that the American Revolution is an historical fact — even though many Revolutionary claims are based on misrepresentations of the facts?
