When my wife went back to Temple University to complete her college degree, 
she was the only student in her History class who knew enough about the 
Vietnam War to discuss it in class. Apparently, the state textbook 
commissions find the subject distasteful. In a senior class on History which 
included History majors, she was the only one who knew about My Lai, any of 
the famous photos from the war, or even that we lost-- because she had read 
the newspapers of the time.
