History is by far the most potentially controversial subject taught in the school, even more troublesome than sex ed, for turning parents into ranting lunatics.

This is why the standard US history book used in high schools was so utterly watered down as to be useless. A bloated tome, it was noted that it devoted one paragraph each to Washington and Lincoln, and five pages to Marilyn Monroe.

Sounds like a typical week for Larry King Live.
