Pretty darn ignorant, to judge by this story by Ron Grossman in the Chicago Tribune:
I took a quick survey in the newsroom the other day, something between a Rorschach test and a pop quiz, asking younger colleagues to identify an iconic photograph of World War II.
While some instantly recognized the image, others couldn’t quite place it.
“I know I ought to know it,” one co-worker said. “It was in the movie, ‘Flags of Our Fathers.’ ” Some, seeing uniforms, realized it must be a war photo. Maybe Vietnam? One got the era right but the battlefield wrong. She guessed it was D-Day, not, as it was, the raising of the American flag on Iwo Jima.
Yes, those uniforms are a dead giveaway, aren’t they?
Alas, the essay wanders off into a discussion of dishtowels, the Bauhaus movement and the writer’s escape from the middle class, until it gets back to the loss of historical memory and what it portends for the future — and, according to Grossman, it’s not all bad:
A few months ago, students at a high school in Chatham, Ill., painted a mural on a school wall. These young people recognized the iconic imagery of Iwo Jima. They borrowed it but replaced Old Glory with a windmill. Saving the environment from pollution was their crusade, they explained.
Most of the 236 comments on the local newspaper’s Web site seemed divided between those who found the mural disrespectful of World War II veterans or those who believed it symbolized the freedom for which they had fought. One, though, reacted with a haunting forecast:
“One day down the road the wall will need to be repainted, and at that time some other artistic individual will paint something there, too. At that time, who knows, it could reference another historical event on another level … Each generation has its own battle.”

Mr. Walsh, I'm shocked and dismayed to hear this…
I did a video for Youtube about 4 years ago, it ends with the Flag at Iwo Jima. I recently felt perhaps I should send the video to Tom Hanks. It is my own "5 minute History of the War with Japan" Called: Day of Infamy. (I uploaded it Dec. 6, 2006)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SQNWPjl4k-Q
This is EXACTLY the problem with progressive history teaching. "If I don't like it, it's not important." This BS is denying our children our culture and our history, our ideals and our sacrifices, our hopes and dreams, FOR THEM!
well, considering the youth of today have been on the 'mushroom diet'…
You know, kept in the dark and fed a bunch of fecal matter. So, the Eloi that HG Well's envisioned has come to fruition.
Ready to be led underground and consumed by the Morlocks. Simple solution?
Two words: HOME SCHOOLING…
I am not shocked at all to hear this, the left always wants to repaint the past, it is the only way they can cover up their own sins.
The Japanese at that time were fanatical in their devotion that the Japanese race were superior to all others. Sound familiar?
As it was then, it will always be so with human nature. There will be those who believe that they are better than who disagree with them.
We are seeing that right now, all over again.
This is exactly the POINT of progressives distorting history. If children grow up not knowing where this nation came from and why it was founded, they are a blank canvas waiting for the sick lies of left to color their view of life, humanity and the world. Prep the sheep for slaughter…
Very nice, thank you
"Journalist" is a simpler way of saying, "Brain-dead, useless conehead without any skill useful to society."
They make great anchors when wrapped in chain and soaked in cement.
Expect one to know history? That's like expecting a pig to paint a Picasso.
How ignorant are todays journalists? Pretty ignorant.
Might I add sad, and sorry as well.
Yet journalists are but a small microcosm of the populace.
I remember the photograph of the Marines at Iwo Jima. Further, I know it was raising the Flag on Mount Suribachi. I wonder how many people viewing this thread knew that, without searching online for the history.
I am old enough, to remember that back in the the day, those facts were still taught in school. Further, I am someone, whose parents were of the "Greatest Generation." We were taught history. As children, we called the Germans, and Italians, and Japanese the names our parents and Grandparents, and Aunts and Uncles called them. The names they brought home from the War. The descriptive names, that make Tom Hanks gasp, and chortle in horror.
I didn't need a journalist to teach me that.
Excellent video, very well done. I enjoyed it very much! Thank you. Great musical selection and awesome pictures. Everyone who sees you post here should watch it. Worth the 5 minutes people!!! Watch…
The fact that practically none of them challenged Sean Penn or Tom Hanks add more fuel to the fire of their ignorance and cowardice.
Oh the questions one could ask a "journalist" today, much less Tom Hanks. How about these to start:
1) What was the Second Sino Japanese War and whom did America support in it?
2) What was the Rape of Nanking?
3) What happened to Australian POWs captured by the Japanese during WWII?
4) What was the Bataan Death March?
5) What is the significance of Section 731?
If any of those bozos – including Hanks – could answer one of those questions, I'd shave my head.
Ah thanks very much for watching it. The editing was actually more difficult than it looks!
As a veteran and a navy nuke for 20+ years, all i can say is….. I am vary saddened by this article, shame on you journalists, shame on America, that we could allow our young people to forget those men.
Cowboy,
I am disusted by this. i can't even explain the way this story makes me feel. The horrors, the terror, the burden that those men shouldered for our nation is beyond heroic. For our society to allow any generation to grow up not knowing who and what those men and all the soldiers of the time accomplished is disgusting to me.
After reading this I called my 3 girls over and showed them the flag raising image. My two teenage daughters recognized it immediatley, my youngest who is only 8 did not, but knew it was US soldiers, at least that took away some of the sting. For any so called journalist to not know this image is disgusting in the extreme.
Just think, with what they teach in school today, all those kids are candidates in the running to be on "Jaywalk Allstars".
Apparently not, and there in lies the problem.
I would simply like to point out that when I was in college 30 years ago the education majors were the basement level dumbest, and had the lowest ACT/SAT scores, followed closely by the journalism students. The folks who could really write, after all, were English majors, and the journalists were just sorta half arsed writers who could do nothing else. (Oh, and math majors don't know math- those Physics majors know them some math if you need help with your homework!
) So, aside from the "destined to repeat it" meme always true about those who don't know history, the folks in the newsroom also don't know squat about economics either. When coupled with their pathetic coverage of science topics in general, and global warming specifically, along with every other "hard" science subject. Simply put, they are just not the sharpest folks so I can't be surprised by their lack of knowledge on anything, and we have all noticed how they exhibit their ignorance on a daily basis on everything imaginable.
CL-
There are no real journalists today. They are only opinion writers and with very few exceptions. They grew up getting trophies for showing up. It is a shame.
Don't we all get participation trophies, for showing up here and commenting and participating? Maybe some of us will really excel, and get Pulitzers, or even a Noble Piece Prize, like Barry………….
Pretty good video, Liked the fact you put Tokyo Rose in the video. made me think of todays MSM and the propaganda they try and sell us,
It's no wonder about the journalists' lack of historical knowledge.
After all they're taught that their mission is to "Comfort the afflicted and to afflict the comfortable," and to "make the world a better place." There's no room in there for love of country or love for the truth. Presenting the unvarnished truth to their news consumers was always their true mandate. I think the Old Media wouldn't be in such dire financial straits today, had they lived by that simple credo yesterday.
Replaced American flag with windmill. That about sums it all up.
True, 4arepublic.
I wonder, was Al Gore involved?
It is a sad indictment of the current state of our education system(s) that allegedly professional journalists CAN'T successfully identify an iconic photograph taken of a seminal moment during a pivitol battle during the biggest war the United States has been involved in. Frankly it' s sickeniing. Were not talking about a grainy photo of the Marines cxharging Belleu Wood in WWI, or another famous moment in the distant past, this THE photo of WWII. IT's a huge statue near Arlington Cemetary in Washington D.C.
You would think it would ring a bell with these dolts.
That said, leave it to Texas to begin the fix the problem, to much liberal belly aching and whining. To wit:
AUSTIN, Tex. — After three days of turbulent meetings, the Texas Board of Education on Friday approved a social studies curriculum that will put a conservative stamp on history and economics textbooks, stressing the superiority of American capitalism, questioning the Founding Fathers’ commitment to a purely secular government and presenting Republican political philosophies in a more positive light.

Ban analogy. A pig could easily paint what would pass for a Pacasso.
Slightly off topic,but thank you for your dedicated Naval service.
We're glad you here and contributing, you bring wisdom, Thanks.
What??? There are a bunch of morons working at the Chicago Tribune? I'm shocked….shocked I tell you!
Did the sarcasm bleed through? {sigh}
I simply cannot believe these idiots actually comparing the sacrifices by soldiers to the stupid "green movement"
I recently asked a classroom of your average sophomores if they had heard of the holocaust. out of 30 kids only about 6 raised their hands. and out of those, only 4 of them actually knew that it involved "a lot of jewish people dying." none of them had heard of kristolnacht., nor had any idea that communism killed far more people then hitler ever did. i just thought, "don't the parents teach their kids anything?" the kids just want to play with their xboxes, or watch american idol. btw, they think anarchy is cool, and that communism is neet-o cuz you don't have to do anything and no one has to work and it's like, you know, more fun and…
This photo, and the one of the Army accordian player mourning Franklin Roosevelt are the two most iconic photos of the war in my opinion… Mt Surabachi/ Iwo Jima is without a doubt the most memorable WWII action photo. Do we still teach history? How much time is spent teaching WWII?
My pleasure James, thanks for the heartfelt appreciation. … I get all warm and fuzzy inside =)
"I pledge allegiance to the eco-friendly-government symbol
and to the marxist state, for which it twirls . . . "
Can't really blame the kids…It's the fault of US parents and the Marxist infested school systems that teach a version of American history none of us would recognize.
Not a mention of how we are a force for good in a really dangerous world, imperialism is not our thing, only the spread of freedom and democracy.
So most not knowing Iwo Jima is no real surprise, but what is surprising, is the tolarance we have had for the infultration by the left and the depths they have dragged our kids down in what amounts to at least a lack of appreciation for their own country…
Journalists and Hollywooders come from the sturdy stock of elite academic school children that consistently pointed to Greenland instead of China on the map in high school.
.
lol! yup
Jamesb
Interesting article….The times writer seemed to be gagging as she? wrote it…
If I had my way, I'd do like with the computer….Go back in time and reset the setting to say June 10,2008 ..Problems solved…
Same with the cirriculum….Reset to June 10, 1955 and everybody start from there new and fresh…
Sadly we should all be ashamed as we have allowed the statist to infiltrate every avenue of our lives.We have allowed the statists to use PC as their weapon of choice to dominate most aspects of our culture to the point as documented above where we have nearly lost our culture.
It's hanging by a thread , we must all endeavor to dislodge the mush in these young heads and replace it with real history of real people and events. PC must be defeated and new post Obama America must be our goal.
Ya old bubblehead, thanks from a member of Uncle Sam's Canoe Club
I was sitting in a grad level Latin American comparitive pol.systems seminar the other day and we're discussing the Brirtish monarch and monarchy v. Parliment and other dry and arcane blather,
and I mentioned to a young lady sitting across from me (there are only 10 of us) the "Glorious Revolution" as the moment she was speaking of (the beginning of Parlimentary acendency and end of absolute monarcy).
Her reaction was – WHAT? It was like I asked her what year Gibson SG Tony Iommi used on Black Sabbath's Vol. 4 album, she had no clue what I was takling about.
Now, that's generally not an issue, but in a graduate level poly sci seminar, ugh…it's the fault of high schools.
lol! Luckily there are plenty of BRILLIANT journalists at the "New York Times"!
(well, 150 less of them than the other day!)
Many young melonheads would consider the U.S. an "Imperial Power", and that's really disturbing.
true ellie, or they know where the Springfield of "Simpson's" fame is, but can't find Springfield, Mass. or Springfield, Ill. on said map.
So what man? in the day, you didn't have to smart, you had to have balls – dumb enough to go to the danger zone, smart enough to live through it and talk about it.
You are better than a "journalist"?, I always wanted to be a writer or own a book store, well, I have my book store now, Hemingway waited on soldiers in WWI as a corpsman/ambulatory man, don't be so smug.
Jb
That why we need to hit the reset button…1955 in the waaay back machine…
I never liked Black Sabbath…
And the "pre-law" folks fell below the education clowns.
We need to take BACK the schools or BYPASS the schools. Home-schooling is the last option to SAVE THE CHILDREN.
Jb
esp when they go beyond Dan Rather Mellonheads and become deranged twilight zone zombies like Janeane Garofalo…
Check out her vid on the last post…Quite shocking even for someone as deranged as her…
Yup, 1955 sounds about right. My classmate wouldn't like Sabbath either, I can tell that about her.
Eeeny beanie, chile beanie, the sprits are about to SPEAK!
Come on Mr. Peabody, let's goooooo!
Even though we (Our Brave Soldiers who have grown old and passed on (Most of them)) raised our flag upon their land, we didn't conquer it, we liberated it, it belongs to them, we overthrew (Conquered) their dictators (Totalitarian government) we help it prosper, to this day, it is their Country, they dwell within it, it should be theirs!!!! America now faces the same need for salvation, it is under siege, not from beyond, but from within!!! They smile to your face, but they plot behind closed doors!!!!………. Hhmmmmm…What could they be up to now… well we have to let them make it law, before we can find out…Ask Nancy (Sexy thing (in her own (Botox) mind) Pelosi she will stroke her (Sexy) hair and tell you straight up (With a blink or two of her sexy, alluring (Everyone lusts for me) (I Am the goddess) eyes! Well at least the So- called Journalists buy it. that's what counts.. or is it? You "Teabagger", you have the Audacity to doubt her Stature as the beauty queen for the ages, Mark Anthony would have been proud to lay with her, you peons!!! Can't you realize/recognize royalty when you see it.. don't puke in her presence, whatever you do, it might bring her ego back down a notch or two!!! She might realize she is nothing but a mortal upon the earth, like the rest of us!!! Pelosi in her own mind, thinks she is as pure as the the spring shower and the So-called (Lusting) Journalists (Male and female) lap it up, hoping for a lick or two to quench their sexual thirst!!!!!!!!

One of the best and most creative cartoon series eveeeer……!!
I'm going to see if I can find a few episodes tomorrow and them show the granddaughter whose almost 3 y/o…Don't tell any one…Sssssssh!!
Wolf Blitzer appearing on Jeopardy! I think he finished -$25,500.00
Epic stupid.
Jb
One of the best and most creative 'toon series eveeer…..!
See if we can't find a few episodes of R&B to share with the 3y/o grandaughter…Should be fun…
Hemingway was a conscientious objector, that's why he was a corpseman, but yes those men were very courageous, all corpesmen are very courageous.
I'm not "pre-law", but they're spread all over the place, – poly sci, history, English, you name it.
It is not an "educational system" it is indoctrination, I have read my fathers history books from the 1920s, they would be like third year university now.
I skipped "higher education", joined the military, got out, went back to school, the "professors" were elitists, most without "real world" experience, higher education is a factory for the elites. Teachers unions. Union leaders organizing more unions, blah blah blah.
I still have respect for Hunter S. Thompson, he may have died at his own hand, perhaps suffered from a hallucination or two, but he KNEW. He used to talk football with Nixon. What do I know?, I quit watching television when Nixon was about to be impeached, quit reading the LA Times when Otis quit.
Things ain't changed much, just the agendas.
Bah, humbug –
Get serious, Walsh, stop this nonsense – we as a nation are still, and for good reasons, anxiously waiting to hear where Michael Jackson's nose is -
Hey, HPD – that was the most objective story concerning the Texas school book "controversy", some of the blogs talikng about it were down right Stalinistic Epic Purge pissed. Bunch of maroons…
I 'm assuming you guys pronounced "corpsman" without the "s", unlike some people ,one Harvard professor in particular who's been in the news lately.
Read H.S.T.'s "Hells Angles" book a while back, he's damn lucky they didn't kill him. Hellova a book, and author -wow.
I worked a long time (life time) in the car business, got out (thankfully, love the car biz, hate the business climate) and returned to school. I love it, and at my age ( a youthful wildman @ 50!) the professors are hesitant to really engage me. (decorum I guess)
I'm often the "spokesman" for a suprisingly large silent minority of conservative students in many classes, but I've had some screaming unhinged liberals go after me. It's fun!
If the Progressives get their way and have all students taught from the same federal government text books ( instead of being a states right ) then rewriting history and indoctranation will be that much easier.
HPD- Now I know I'm getting old , I know who R&B are. Don't forget B&N- No, I'm not talking about Barney & Nancy, Someone just as evil though.
Jb
You could sense the distain oozing from the fingers of the writer, or maybe for the NYT it was pretty good…
They, at the school board, did the right thing…Changing the focus from indifference to pride in our history, good or bad, just the truth…
no, journalists are actually gossips, trading stories that fit into a half hour timeline. Ignorant? Beyond ignorant. Over the hill into Eloi territory.
"just want to play with their xboxes, or watch american idol." Are you sure your not talking about the parents?
Dog
Boris and Natasha were awesome in enemies during the Cold War …Glad you enjoyed them too…
lol! Yes sir! We're amongst oh, er, I'd say a few HUNDRED MILLION AMERICANS that aren't boneheads!
The "One" is one clueless academic/so c i a l i s t!
I loved R & B. I learned stuff too. Like Roman history still a great love and interest of mine, quite possibly as a result of Rocky and Bullwinkle.
Ya, and Boris & Natasha…always on the losing end – as it should be.
Watch when a breaking news story comes on air and see the hilarious news people try to understand whats happened before they get a chance to google it. Its totally hilarious. It always surprises me how stupid they really are when the world comes at them unscripted.
Nalora, I've heard that music, but i can't remember where, what is the music in the video?
Wow again. I was born, oh, about 30 years after World War II ended, and I knew that was Iwo Jima. Whatever they teach reporters in schools these days, it sure ain't history.
Well done, good images, very nice editing. Thanks.
We got rid of those Tyrants in the nick of time, thank goodness.
Some of my employees had no idea of the meaning of the term 'Trojan Horse'. Ask HighSchool kids who Chairman Mao was. They don't know.
But they are working class. They don't need to know.
As for the Iwo Jima / Windmill metaphor…………don't read too much into it other than Global Warming Propaganda works.
I'll bet that most of the posters here could not even give an account of the actions of the United States that caused ( or incited ) the Japanese attack. It didn't happen in a vacuum.
Knowledge of historical pop culture doesn't qualify you as educated.
Janeane is nauseating. In every way. I wonder what alternate universe these people grew up in?
Seminole, we were just talking about Texas taking the bullsheet by the "Horns" (Hook 'em!) and the Board of Educations of Texas is driving the text books back to the ideological right (content wise) in Social Studies (and economics, that what the story says).
The liberals on the board made a big deal of getting up and walking out on the votes, really quality human beings.
You got that right. I home schooled my daughter when she was younger but there weren't any kids her age in the local programs and –long story short– she wanted to be put in public school because she wanted that interaction. And that's been fine to a point. But I can see the difference academically already. I have to sit down with her everyday and go over her classwork and basically teach it all over again. Nothing against the teacher– but who can get to 35 kids individually every day? I've learned that I have to really monitor what they're doing in class because they are spoon-fed propaganda– the most egregious being global warming. In a way I like the way we're doing it because I have a chance to address the bits of indoctrination as they come and hopefully I'll have my kids well armed before college.
I took an entire University senior level class (3 hours – full semester) on the Far East Theatre in WWII and the causes of why an ultra-militarist Japanese dominated government with puppets for Prime Ministers and a weak Emperor who was more interested in playing with his fish tanks than getting really involved in a way that lead to the attack on the U.S.
It's taught by a 80 year Japanese native/ History PhD and survivor of the atomic bomb attack of Nagasaki. He survived because school was out of session and he was working under durress from the government collecting pinetree tar for turpinetine.
Oh, I was also born in, and grew up in Japan.
So, ya – I know just a little bit about the causes of the Japanese attack on the U.S.
In a word, no.
Ignorance of either of those things is unacceptable. \m//
You bet! Supernaut or Huguenots – gordian knots and Army cots – ya gotta know this crap!
Is it safe to subject a toddler to so many puns?
Yes, the culture does change mysteriously.
I once used the term "shell shock" when talking to my 20-something co-worker. This WW I phrase has been part of our culture for nearly one hundred years.
However, he became very excited that the "old dude" was using a term he learned from watching Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle cartoons on TV.
At least the diluted meaning was roughly the same, so the a play on words he learned from the cartoon allowed him to know what I meant.
Hopefully some good can come from this story and those that don't know where the picture is from do some research and learn about our history. Unfortunately, I was a product of an education system in the 2000's and only received info. on Iwo Jima as a soundbite. I had to do my own research about the battle.
I think today's journalists are very well informed, with a keen grasp of both the facts and deeper meanings of both history and current events. As well, they have a keen sense of the responsibilities inherent in their job, as well as the more important underlying patriotism.
Well, journalist – we all know about Michael Yon. Surely there must be others.
Oh! You mean the teleprompter reading actors of broadcast mediatainment and the recycled hacks of print propaganda. Those are not real journalists. They have just hijacked the name to try and give themselves credibility. Those idiots would not know an objective fact if it bit them on the rear end. You would have to buy them several encylopedia's worth of clues for them to be "merely" ignorant.
My father was an Iwo Jima vet. You'd better believe I recognize this photo…and give thanks every day that the 20K USMC casualties saved 20K USAF fliers.
It is "The Art of War" by Vanessa Mae.
How ignorant are todays journalists? Pretty ignorant.
Might I add sad, and sorry as well.
Worked as the IT department manager at a Broadcasting company with two TV stations and nine radio stations for 9 years. All I can say is don't believe ANYTHING the msm reports. You are right they are stupid and biased far to the left. I could go on but why? You all already get it.
I believe this is why our senses are insulted when actors and entertainers become too political. We prefer a strong line between Art and Propaganda.
The emperor would have sacrificed his entire population had we not ended it when we did.
I was born in the 60's, I know that picture well. I can even tell you that it was not of the original flag raising but is a pretty accurate re-enactment of the original and I am not even an American. When even journalists can't tell you what the picture is about, this is very disturbing. Lost in such ignorance is the courage and sacrifice it took to raise that particular flag, the cause that propelled such men to do what seemed to be the impossible, and the evil they had set out to defeat and eventually triumph over. The story behind this flag and the men who raised it is a tale which contains all the reasons why a just war must be fought and won. It's sickening when journalists don't know it, this can only mean that their world view is limited and may be leading a generation to relive history by their cluelessness.
Men such as those in the picture freed a generation of my countrymen from oppression in that war. Many paid the ultimate price by giving their lives for people they had never met or known of before the war. I will be forever grateful to them for this. I will always remember.
I believe you! Very professional. I am going to mail it in a link to friends I know will enjoy it. Great work…
dcase,
AMEN! we are Home schooling our 3 daughters for exactly these reasons.
I also recently explained the Eloi and Morlocks to them as a parable of the difference between those who produce and those who simply consume.
I also explained the Morlock diet to them.

My kids are honor roll students, but when I asked them to sit down and watch "The Pacific" with us on Sunday night, their eyes gazed over and I thought I saw some drool when they were faced with the fact that they might be required (forced) into watching a piece of WWII history rather than surfing YouTube with one ear super-glued to their cell phones.
It took several tries to get them to watch "Band of Brothers." What is it about today's kids where they just have zero interest in how and why thousands of US citizens marched off to foreign lands to protect the freedoms that they enjoy.
It's the I WANT IT NOW GENERATION and they seem to take everything for granted.
As a kid, I was obsessed with all-things-WWII and couldn't find enough information to satisfy my thirst to know more.
Hmmmm… methinks my kids are going to be sitting in front of the tube this Sunday night.
Why you shocked? They dont teach nothing no mo…Only give us the book to read if we has time …The first president they said somethin' 'bout was Roneld Regan, and notin' good was said..Then, skipped Bush 1 to tellin us how great Bil Cliton be…
They dont even care you come to the school…Pretend you showed up to get the mony from the state… And you surprized I dont know 'merican history?
We gots big problems here in De-troit…Big problems ….Obama stash slow gettin to the peoples….We needs it bad….
I have to agree, i have always thought there is a general down hill rush as some fail out of their first choice degree paths. tech degrees roll into the better science degrees, then into the lamer science degrees, business, then to economics, english, then history, then finally phys ed, but even afterall that, there is journalism where all you have to do is right a few articles that kiss your professor's ass and then hey, you have a degree. really dont have to crack a book, little studying if any at all. Sit around a classroom and a talk everyone else down. You dont have to take a math class. Probably take nothing more than a basic science. Alot of writing no doubt but not that it takes any research. You get to do a gareer talking to someone that may or not know anything about a certain topic and regurgitate and spin what you learn to fit your ideas in your grossly unqualified head. Soumds like an easy gig to me, other than not really ever accomplishing anything in your life.
I'm not really surprised. If journalists knew anything at all about history, they wouldn't be so excited to sit on the sidelines and cheerlead us into repeating it.
Ah, a target!
Journalist, doesn't mean what it did in the past. Language has changed the meaning of many words and expressions. (cool, gay. 'right on', bad, 'yeh right', surf, web, net)
A person who doesn't know what to study in college picks Journalism because it is easy and you don't have to think for yourself.
