Who wouldn’t want their mind to be molded by this evil man. Just look at what it has done to Matt Damon.
My daughter’s high school American history course was pure Zinn indoctrination.
The teacher, a young guy, actually hung out with Howard Zinn growing up, since they lived in the same town.
To his credit, he gave my daughter “A” grades on her class essays (written with my help in finding contrary sources).
But not every kid in the class was lucky enough to have a conservative father who followed the curriculum closely and offered an opposition viewpoint.
The indoctrination was appalling.
This guy made me wretch.
I was an undergrad history major in the early 80’s.
Zinn’s work would cause virtually every faculty member
in the department to experience a daily multiple orgasm.
No shock to me then that it now dominates the textbooks.
Oddly enough, he (Zinn) claimed to be a pacifist …Not odd at all. It was the USSR who first started rhetoric of “world peace” after all.
“War to the hilt between communism and capitalism is inevitable. Today, of course, we are not strong enough to attack. […] To win, we shall need the element of surprise. The bourgeoisie will have to be put to sleep. So we shall begin by launching the most spectacular peace movements on record. There will be electrifying overtures and unheard-of concessions. The capitalist countries, stupid and decadent, will rejoice to cooperate in their own destruction. They will leap at another chance to be friends. As soon as their guard is down, we shall smash them with our clenched fist!”Zinn merely employs the same tactic.
— Dmitry Manuilsky, 1930
Ping.
Howard Zinn was pernicious.
...pinko ping....
Fellow Marxist idiot on her way out as is Howie...(her recent 1-18-17 rambling)...
