Hi,
Just go and read Zinn's "People's History of the United States". It's another reason to have schools.
When teaching a class on science, history, and cooking the first thing that a teacher does is to pick those topics that will be presented. Many times the teachers are even handed the books they will use with many of the topics preselected. From the very beginning of the teaching process will be skewed by many points of view. It's hard for be to believe that these simple observations could provoke much disagreement.
Currently we will progress along an interesting part of the "Iraq path". The Bush administration principals will be working on their autobiographies when they will try to inject their point of view into the "historical process". It will be fun to watch the rewriting of history.
This is why everyone tries to control our corporate media.
