Question for Jeff Pasley's section: option 1

Anyone in the class can post comments here, but the question is intended for my section that meets at 11am on Thursday.

Following up on my "What is History Not?" introduction, I wanted to ask what uses, or abuses, of history have you recently encountered? This can be from a television show, movie, museum exhibit, advertisement, political statement, high school class, sign, personal conversation , or really any other source.
