How can you use a book designed to supplement and provide and alternative to "the standard history" when you don't even know what the "standard history" is?

2018-07-23 08:09:08 UTC  

Thats why im trying to be a history teacher

2018-07-23 08:09:31 UTC  

Theres far too much that goes unsaid and unexplained, good and bad

2018-07-23 08:10:31 UTC  

A massive restructuring of the ciriculum for history is in order

2018-07-23 08:12:04 UTC  

It should be. But unfortunately, I don't see it coming.

2018-07-23 08:12:07 UTC  

the greatest lie the left put in history was to make Nazi germany right-wing

2018-07-23 08:12:19 UTC  

The not-left has been pushing for it since atleast the 90s.

2018-07-23 08:12:45 UTC  

But the field has only gotten increasingly radical and pretends to have no idea why it is and doesn't intend to address it even in parts.

2018-07-23 08:16:37 UTC  

Reading more about People's History

2018-07-23 08:16:53 UTC  

I dont see how this is anything other than communist propaganda

2018-07-23 08:17:13 UTC  

that's exactly what it is.

2018-07-23 08:17:42 UTC  

It's highly popular on the Left too.

2018-07-23 08:24:05 UTC  

what is?

2018-07-23 08:24:11 UTC  

history?

2018-07-23 08:27:20 UTC  

*A People's Histroy of the United States* By Howard Zinn.

2018-07-23 08:27:27 UTC  

It's book of alternative history.

2018-07-23 08:27:36 UTC  

It's every bit as far left as the title would imply.

2018-07-23 08:27:39 UTC  

Not in that its a fake history

2018-07-23 08:27:48 UTC  

Just that its viewing history through the eyes of a communist

2018-07-23 08:28:11 UTC  

It's got a pretty clear editorial slant, to put it gently.

2018-07-23 08:28:24 UTC  

Big on Social Justice White Guilt type stuff.

2018-07-23 09:25:10 UTC

2018-07-23 09:41:21 UTC  

"mother of all wars" considering the traditional nature of middle east and iran, it will be a dishing contest?

2018-07-23 09:48:57 UTC  

Im curious if the warmongering left will side with Iran now, just cuz Trump is at odds with them

2018-07-23 09:55:39 UTC  

The left were with Iran before this and got pissed when he pulled out of the nuclear deal.

2018-07-23 10:00:45 UTC  

Lots of Iranians on his twitter posting pictures of the captured US soldiers/dead ones as well as missile ranges as threats.

2018-07-23 10:00:46 UTC
