Thanks for the ping! I was just instinctually afraid that history is being skewed in the public school system, so I recently bought my son a book called "Under God" that gives the account of American history from a different perspective. At least, different from pub ed's version. I haven't read it myself yet, just the back cover and preface, which looked to my liking.
I hate what the PC and multicultural crowd tries to do to education. My son loved history in HS and passed the AP history exam. But he had to learn history outside of the class and text and then argue with the teacher and his classmates. History should be taught with a factual presentation, and I suppose it is too much to ask for a non-biased presentation. So lets get a mix of teachers to give the kids both sides of the arguement.
No Paul Revere? Next I suppose the battle on Lexington Green was not about protecting the colony arms depot at Concord? (Second amendment got us into the revolutionary war?)
