Yeah there was meant to be some obvious irony in that comment. I do think that was a big deal as far as bringing it to the masses though.RaceBannon said:

I also hold history credentials from the same fine institution, and while the musical butchers most facts about Hamilton’s life, I take the opposite stance.YellowSnow said:As a proud holder of a B of A in History from a Public Ivy (hi @creepycoug !!) I would never go to see Hamilton.

I happily saw the musical, which I enjoyed, and was thrilled it’s served as a “gateway drug” for many young people and got them interested in the subject again.
Sadly in this era of misinformation and overemphasis on STEM, fields vital to our society like history, civics, and philosophy need the FREE PUB!
