Anyone else read "Lies my Teacher Told Me"? |
|
I'm on Chapter 3 right now; good read. And, looking up the 1-star reviews on Amazon to see how the book got conservative panties in a bunch... http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/customer-reviews/0684818868/ref=cm_rev_sort/104-6675111-7612747?customer-reviews.sort_by=%2BOverallRating&x=14&y=16&s=booksThis guy is a Reagon/Bush/Republican/America HATER!!! Very far left-wing Socialist/Communist/Marxist/Useful Idiot "Hatemonger" and he is a professor in college?? No wonder these kids are so brainwashed when they come out of school hating America. So many of his opinions are out right distortions and exaggerations and lies. He hates America like terrorists do. He must be one himself the way he speaks.:spray: :rofl:

I loved Zinn's "A People's History" tho. Goes down as my favorite book of all times.

Lies Across America is solid, too.
These people prefer the poisoned koolaid even when they've got something tons better in front of them....

My fiance is a high school teacher and he told me about it when we first met and gave me a copy. Very interesting.

but I, too, like Howard Zinn's "A People's History of the United States" even more. Probably because it is a little more thorough, but both are good.
If enquiring minds want to know, here is an interesting Hollywood side note- Matt Damon mentioned Zinn's book in "Good Will Hunting", because he likes the book, but also because he was neighbors with Howard Zinn.
