Republicans and Marxists

[redcliffsw]

This looks like an interesting book, "Red Republicans and Lincoln's Marxists"

Following is a review of this book by RC Murray, former public school teacher:

I'll have to get a copy. If it is all he says it is I will reccomend it to the school board for review as part of history class.  Gee, I wonder what their response would be???

History class?  I didn't think they still taught history.

[redcliffsw]

Most schools have not been teaching history right for over
a hundred (100) years.  In 1896, there were complaints
about it. 

Just look at how Lincoln has been worshipped over
the years for his "greatness" and how much less recognition
of our founding fathers have received, all for furthering the fed's
socialist agenda.

[Wilma]

I don't think they are even teaching Lincoln anymore.  At least I never hear anything about it.  Lincoln and Washington both have been lost in president's day, which means only a day off from school for the kids.

[Varmit]

Yep, and thats a damn shame.  Don't ya just love those teachers unions???

[Wilma]

Tnere is something else to blame here but I am not going into it.

[Varmit]

so why bring it up?

[Diane Amberg]

The school curriculum doesn't come from the teachers union. It comes from the state by way of the school board and the textbook publishers. The PTA's, through the school board, could have a say too if they had a concern.

[Varmit]

As large as the teachers unions are you can't tell me they don't have some pull with the state.  also why would the state want to teach a twisted view of history?  or even none at all?
