Editor's Note: Former President Donald Trump turned his head slightly to the right to look at a chart he was using as a prop shortly before a man with a rifle on top of a nearby roof shot at him, which may have saved his life.
The top of Trump's right ear was hit. Three spectators were also hit, authorities said – including one who died.
One of the great tragedies of the American educational system currently is how little high school students know about the founding of their country. They are taught much about slavery in the thirteen colonies at the time of the Revolution as well as the fact that women were not allowed to vote. They are also taught a great deal about the depredations by European colonizers against Native Americans. But their lack of knowledge about the heroes of the American Revolution who founded this remarkable and great country is lamentable.
