I would not call Howard Zinn a historian. His “A People’s History of the United States” (of which I have a copy) is pure identity politics agitprop. So don’t call it a history book. To use it as material for studying typical agitprop dressed in pseudointellectualism, fine (as in know the enemy). The same reason why Thomas Jefferson had a copy of the Koran, a fact lost on Keith Ellison (D-Jihad).

I read it years ago. Zinn’s work is rubbish.

So, being a former Hoosier, I want to know:

Do they still use the book at IU?

Here’s betting that they do........
