In my daughter's Jewish Day School, they taught that Harriet Tubman freed the slaves. Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation was not mentioned.

K-12 education is actively anti-American, and uses lies to further leftism. Whatcha gonna do?

Be careful, your're only partly right. Emacipation Proclamation only freed slaves in the slave states that were in revolt against the Union. Slaves in those states that remained in the Union were not freed until after the war following a constitutional ammendment (14th?).

Well, for starters, you can try what we've been doing for over 18 years: Home school.

In my daughter's history text Nat Turner gets more press than U.S. Grant and R.E. Lee combined. He is dubbed the "American Spartacus" and lionized, although all I've read about him in more reputable histories paint him as a cowardly brigand who preferred murdering helpless women and children to fighting a pitched battle. There is no more education, only propaganda.
