Peaches and Cream

Americans hate history. What we love is nostalgia.

— Regi Gibson

Teachers, librarians, and museum curators are at sixes and sevens over how to sweeten America's story.

That's because peaches and cream trump truths in this country.

Truths just get you in trouble.

American exceptionalism, the saccharine tale of the "city on a hill," is our preferred confection. 

We serve it 24/7 at every table in town.

Right now, the GOP—the party of Putin—would make it America's official dessert.

So much for apple pie.

And the GOP would deputize its members, Stasi-like, to help the state round up dissident chefs.

I don't care for a kitchen run like that.

And will do everything in my powers to thwart the GOP.

How about you?

Are you on the side of truths?
