Ah, Zinn. Even the flaming red socialists at Harvard and Stanford agree that his book is revisionist claptrap. It's not a textbook, it's a trade book. At best it's been used by half a dozen universities as survey material, not as a textbook. Not a single state in the Union lists it as an approved textbook for secondary education.The Annoyed Man wrote:A bigger culprit than Alinsky is a "historian" by the name of Howard Zinn, who wrote "A People's History Of The United States". That book has been accepted as THE standard for teaching American History to college students, and it was written by a man who completely, down to his bones, hated the United States of America.Abraham wrote:Leftist professors are Saul Alinsky acolytes...making certain students remain unschooled in American history and hateful toward Capitalism and the Constitution.
A four year degree from almost any university is laughable.
Those who earn degrees in science aren't exposed as much, but sadly, they're still exposed to some of this poison.
Yes, I know that Sen. Santorum made some political hay with his remarks at the NRA national meetings last year. They were, regrettably, not strictly accurate.
