All part of the Kenyan’s “fundamental transformation” of our country. Sad.

They should also teach Stalin’s, Lenin’s and Mao’s works... (/sarc)

Given the nature of Philidelphia’s government, it was probably the only book they could understand - because it has lots of pictures.

If I were a liberal Democrat in 2013, I’d be laughing and pissing in everyone’s face too.

No one anywhere is lifting a finger to stop them.

The largest demographic in Philly is Black. They should teach the students the wonders of Robert Mugabe, Idi Amin Dada, Charles Taylor, etc.

“Castro did not do everything wrong, or he would not have lasted so long,” she said in a statement to CBS.

Would she say the same of Franco?

Robert Mugabe, Idi Amin Dada, Charles Taylor, etc.

Those guys are gods to black liberals. They were hoping Obama would follow in their footsteps

Incredible. Zinn's "history" isn't. I can't state the case more simply. Better not to pretend to teach history at all.

These urban-brand Liberal utopian socialists live in a federally-funded dream world. One that can't last.

War seems nearly inevitable.

17. Get control of the schools. Use them as transmission belts for socialism and current Communist propaganda. Soften the curriculum. Get control of teachers' associations. Put the party line in textbooks.

30. Discredit the American Founding Fathers. Present them as selfish aristocrats who had no concern for the "common man."

31. Belittle all forms of American culture and discourage the teaching of American history on the ground that it was only a minor part of the "big picture." Give more emphasis to Russian history since the Communists took over.

32. Support any socialist movement to give centralized control over any part of the culture--education, social agencies, welfare programs, mental health clinics, etc.

From "The Naked Communist," by Cleon Skousen

Also read into the Congressional Record--Appendix, pp. A34-A35 January 10, 1963

Precisely. I have the blessing of living just 20 minutes outside the Utopia of Philly. It has been almost completely destroyed. I’d feel safer swimming in the Nile than walking around in North Philly.

Ahh, if the goal is to teach socialism, why not just teach current events?

Like Zinn, Councilwoman Blackwell defended the Castro regime.

“Castro did not do everything wrong, or he would not have lasted so long,” she said in a statement to CBS.

Council does hereby recognize the need for students to be taught an unvarnished, honest version of U.S. history...

No, it isn't anything like that, nor did Zinn intend it to be. It is an alternate view deliberately distorting toward the negative as an attempt to offset what he felt was unfairly represented as positive. As such it is no more useful to students of history than a comic book.
