Lies My Teacher Told Me - Dan - 08-04-2004
Bismillah
I am reading a book called "Lies My Teacher Told Me: Everything your American History Textbook Got Wrong" by James W. Loewen. This is a very good read. I highly recommend it, especially to Americans. Basically, history is not really being taught in schools, nationalism is. It is a sad state we are in when the truth of history is squashed for fear that people might actually make up their own minds about certain situations. History is not written in stone. It is fluid and changes with new discoveries and insites. We must start teaching it as such instead of using it to indoctrinate people.
Peace.
