Competent and honest history books will never reach public school children. In the 90’s, when the left had better organized activists, the founding fathers got less ink than Harriet Tubman and protesters of the 60s. Coverage of WW2 gave as much space to the Japanese internment as every battle put together. Now the right is pushing its agenda onto the choice and spin of facts in the textbooks.

Ask any Muslim or Chinese person and he will tell you the US is part of Christendom.

Nothing ever changes.

Uh what? This wasn’t even remotely true in any of my high school history classes, and I was in high school from 1991 to 1994. We did many units on the effects of WW2, we spent a long time on the holocaust, we addressed the Japanese Internment, but it was a very small part of our WW2 cirrculum.
