Zinn was an apologist for communist dictators like Fidel Castro, who has brutalized and oppressed the people of Cuba for decades.
Like Zinn, Councilwoman Blackwell defended the Castro regime.
“Castro did not do everything wrong, or he would not have lasted so long,” she said in a statement to CBS.

Councilwoman Blackwell is a living affirmation of my own personal view that while left-wingers talk as if they were Lenin, they exercise power like Stalin. One can hardly blame them, since Stalinesque rulers(Castro, Kim, etc) tend to long exercise of power - life-long, usually.
commie ping....
When Zinn’s crap turned up in our kids’ school in the Puget Sound area, I quit my job at Microsoft and move the family to north Idaho. That was 1998.
It’s far easier to fill in the blanks than it is to counteract blatant falsehood and deception.
According to former KGB agent Yuri Bezmanov the Soviets were very busy pushing communist ideology on education leaders in the US and worldwide. The idea was to teach children to hate their country and to pave the way for the Marxist revolution.Howard Zinn was either a "useful idiot" or an outright agent of the KGB.

Oh how I hated making copies from that book. Good thing is that the students would never read the material.
I read somewhere that he was directly paid by Moscow.
Probably being brought forth in a district that voted 100% for THE FOREIGNER.
‘Got a sense of that on the field.
Thing that is both sad and funny about this is we are all here thinking the very same thing.
Coached SoCal HS baseball three seasons. ‘Kids were really engaged that I was a Vietnam vet. They asked me a heck of a lot of stuff, and I always gave them the most comprehensive answers, from my conservative thought processes, that I could.
There are still a lot of thoughtful kids out there, despite what many say.
Determine who designed and paid for the curriculum design, their assocates, and their politcal ideologies and you will find your answer.
> if the goal is to teach socialism, why not just teach current events?
Touche...lol
I just watched that movie Mugabe and the white farmer.
What an eye opener. Though I had been aware of this, and stop at the website that tracks the violent deaths of white farmers, this movie gave that up close and personal information of the farmers.
It got me thinking, there is no way in the world that the tribal mentality of African nations is ever going change, is it?
I certainly think it won’t ever change. I’d love to be proven wrong, but I won’t be holding my breath.
And when they teach it in Philly they will have to teach it in Florida because any child should be able to move from Philly to Florida and pick up where they left off. This is the agenda of Common Core.
““Castro did not do everything wrong, or he would not have lasted so long,” she said in a statement to CBS. “
Neither did Hitler - just ask Marge Schott.

Like Zinn, Councilwoman Blackwell defended the Castro regime. "Castro did not do everything wrong, or he would not have lasted so long," she said in a statement to CBS.Let me guess -- the dumb b!tch whistles past Castro's monopoly on firepower in Cuban society, while advocating the forced disarming of US citizens in order to establish the same kind of single party police state.
