uhhh, it is a period piece written in the words and language of that time. You know, that history stuff. Full of those "fact" thingies. It is EXACTLY what belongs in u.S. public schools.
You must have not understood my post.
I SAID it DOESN'T BELONG.
Getting a bit tired tonight? Cranky? Can't quite get a grip on what I said?
Too bad you do not have the insight to realize that the kids in school are smart enough to figure out what the book is about and the fact that it was written a VERY long time ago and that is how things were back then.
It's called e-d-u-c-a-t-i-o-n. You remember, that history stuff. Facts and all that. Perhaps YOU should go back to high school...
