American History
Mr. Chanman of Buckhorn Road, a social science teacher, isn't very pleased with Howard Zinn's A People's History of the United States (note the commie-sounding name), nor with Matt Damon's making a movie of said book.
If it's any comfort I forwarded that to my history major son. He was appalled. He said he's had liberal teachers, but never ones that ignored entire sections of our nation's history for political gain or to simply brainwash a generation. So i don't know if I spurred him to get his certification and teach, or scared him away.
