If DiLorenzo said that the sun rises in the east I wouldn’t believe him.
I hope this didn't convince you to join the Teacher union protesters in WI.

You prompted me to go ahead and read a number of reviews about DiLorenzo’s book about Lincoln. You’re right that many reviewers skewered the man about his facts and presentation.
That doesn’t make his facts and presentation here incorrect, however. A man can be wrong about some things and right about other things.
I’ve been working as a public school teacher for twelve years. The descriptions of government schools in this article match my own observations. Previous to my employment as a teacher, my other career allowed me to work closely with local, state, and federal officials and bureaucrats. Again, the descriptions in the article match my observations.
I haven’t studied Lincoln beyond the basic facts you learn in school (or are supposed to learn, anyway), and I can’t speak to the book you question with any authority. I can speak with authority about working in the government and with government unions, and what he says matches what I know personally and professionally.
I’m going with DiLorenzo on this one.
