I'm from the other side of the world, and when I was a kid, we were taught the story of Abraham Lincoln in school... how he never gave up. Lincoln grew up poor, his business failed, his wife died, and he lost elections again and again. But finally, he became the president. So, what lesson do we learn from this, kids? - like that.

Now it feels like we’ll be teaching kids about Trump—34 felony counts, 6 bankruptcies, 2 impeachments, 1 violent insurrection, and a couple dozen rape accusations... but hey, he didn’t give up either! xD

As an aside how was the fact he used to fight bears for fun not in a school book? You want engagement tell them Abraham Lincoln used to drop haymakers on bears for fun.

Did none of your classmates point out that Lincoln's bad luck was terminal?
