Book Reviews of Lies My Teacher Told Me About Christopher Columbus: What Your History Books Got Wrong
Book Review: Don't believe everything you read - this book especially...
Summary: 1 Stars
One reviewer claims this should be taught in schools - This is just another jewel for revisionist historians. We do not need this type of material to be taught in our public schools. Although the author claims to have used primary sources, his interpretation of these sources should be questioned. Our young children should learn to search for truth, but not be misled by one man's erroneous opinion. Undermining our History texts only teaches students to distrust teachers and schools.
