Dr. James Loewen ~ Lies My Teacher Told Me (About America)

by Nick Glossop on April 30, 2012Leave a comment

Author of Lies My Teacher Told Me and Lies Across America, Dr. James Loewen illuminates the curricular roots of American self-ignorance during a visit with Thom Hartmann. Make sure you stay tuned for part two in which he gives a jaw-dropping account of the persistence of the ‘sundown town,’ something I had never even heard of, but then I learned all I know at Mike Huckabee’s Time Travel Academy.

The average American History textbook weighs 4.5 pounds – is 888 pages long – and contains page after page of misinformation that is tainting the education of American children every day.
