Man, I am beginning to like the Aftenposten (I assume it means "Afternoon Post," or somesuch) from Norway.
One wishes such distortions of history would be as big an issue in this country, as it appears to be over there in Norway, the Nebraska of Europe.

"Ping" for Norway.
Hmmm. To expand this "Norway ping list," I guess I will have to offer free "subscriptions" to other ping lists.

Refseth argued that the text was mean to stimulate critical thought and to spark discussions about the similarities and differences in historical periods.In other words, the twisted history and distorted comparisons were merely to help the chillruns think. Right.

The ''Nebraska'' of Europe????
Well, aside from Norway being mountainous, and socialist, and not raising much grain at all, I suppose that's, er, one way to look at it.
Next time, try Vermont. OK? (w!)

The Nazi occupation is still fresh in the minds of those who live on the West Coast of Norway - there are still ruins of German bunkers all over the place, even some unexploded bombs. I wonder how the authors thought they could get away with this.

Kids should know better than to expect their textbooks to be accurate.
That is the very first lesson of modern history.

Next time I get caught in a howler here I will just repeat the excuses these academics use when caught with their lies too obvious. "I was just trying to stimulate critical thought and spark discussion." Yeah, that's the ticket.
