Don’t teach FROM Howard Zinn and that bunch. Teach ABOUT how they tried to destroy America.
parents must make their views heard. About 15 years ago my children were in an elite NYC public high school. I saw that the American History book was written by Howard Zinn. I immediately went to the teacher and the principal and made it clear that this was unacceptable. After a serious discussion they agreed to also use an acceptable text book and present both views of US history. Fortunately both the teacher and the principal were really centrist. I fear that I would not have gotten a good a result today. BTW: my children are politically centrist, liberal socially and conservative on defense and economy.
