    It's not just in history. There are math 'problems' that are based on both left and right ideologies, leading the children into group think.

    Same in science. There's 'right' and 'left'.

    Truth is there is far more left indoctrination and those with right leanings, are fired when found. They should be, then again, so should those indoctrinating from the left.

    My daughter can't say a word because most of the other teachers are leftwingnuts. She just doesn't discuss politics. She's already told me that if some found out she was conservative she'd have to find a new job.

    Since we moved into our apartment (for seniors only), and many of them are former, or retired military. We have had to stay quiet most all of the time since I'd guess...90% of the people who live here (165 Apartments with Security) are as Liberal as anyone could get. I have never heard a good word spoken about Trump, or Pence. So we have to just tell those who think we are Political..."We don't want to talk about Religion or Politics...since we stopped doing that before we left our house."

    No one has a different "version" of history. History is what happened. History is events. I read about history quite a lot. The past is quite fascinating. I didn't realize that there were alternate interpretations of history. What exactly constitutes the "right wing" version of history?

    You are entitled to your viewpoint as much as anyone else. Politics is very divisive. The problem comes when you assume that only your opinion is valid and everything else is "crap." If you believe President Trump is a wonderful person doing a great job, you are entitled to your opinion. Just as much as someone who believes President Trump is a lying piece of crap. Or you can avoid it altogether and save yourself some grief.

    It is interesting to note that Andrew Ngo, who was assaulted by ANTIFA, is a Vietnamese immigrant whose family was imprisoned by the Viet Cong.

    I worked with someone who came from similar circumstances. She was an IT professional like me.

    Now if institutionalized racism is endemic in America could someone tell me how two non-white immigrant was able to land jobs as professionals?

    For example, I could give you a link to a former member here, she was literally as dumb as a box of rocks. She would literally change historical events. Just like CNN did a few days ago changing history outright as they spoke to Americans. So yes, there is reality, real history, and then what leftists imagine, or they eliminate things they don't like. And coincidentally, this former member was associated with the school system no less. She was an admitted far left teaching type of person, an admitted liar & outright idiot, if you will. That's what is in some schools.

    The left lies. Sure, all people do, but the left so so so much more than others. They are hypocrites. Every last one of them. And more than willing to lie and omit things in the MSM, just as they would lie & omit and pass along their stupidity within schools.

    As I've told others here on DP. I avoid NEGATIVE people, idea's, and those who intentionally tell me how I should live my life...according their standards. That's where the problem is, and comes from. Pure Ignorance of being uninformed by design...such as laziness, arrogance, selfishness, and never fully investigating before making wild, unfounded, often totally false statements they believe are facts.

    We all are confronted by others who always insist...without proof, they are always right. That's just a natural human trait. But those who remain NEGATIVE, and share their NEGATIVITY should be AVOIDED. There's an old saying: "If you hang around with pigs. You eventually come up smelling like pigs." The same goes for Negative people. "If you are around Negative people all the time...GUESS WHAT YOU BECOME unless you part ways?"

    If you truly want to know, go get a history book from the 60s or 70s and you'll see the difference. Ask Kath about the 1619 Project. Liberal newspaper tries to rewrite history.

    So wrong in so many ways” is how Gordon Wood, the Pulitzer Prize-winning historian of the American Revolution, characterized the New York Times’s “1619 Project.” James McPherson, dean of Civil War historians and another Pulitzer winner, said the Times presented an “unbalanced, one-sided account” that “left most of the history out.” Even more surprising than the criticism from these generally liberal historians was where the interviews appeared: on the World Socialist Web Site, run by the Trotskyist Socialist Equality Party.
    https://www.wsj.com/articles/the-161...ed-11576540494

    D ... you haven't lived long enough to know if what you're being taught is biased because you have no life history to compare to. We remember history because we were there and to see it rewritten in school books these days is heart breaking.

    Oh, another example of rewriting history ..... Holocaust deniers.

    Default There is something few people are aware of when it comes to Our History.



    WIKIPEDIA...is probably one of the easiest, and most serious threats to our History. Since it came online (On January 15, 2001, Wikipedia was launched as a feature of Nupedia.com, but, following objections from the advisory board, it was relaunched as an independent Web site a few days later.)
    It has been abused by millions who were presented the Unlimited Opportunity to REWRITE HISTORY as they believe it SHOULD HAVE BEEN.

    That is Dangerous. And look at the results we are all seeing today. Either they REWRITE History, or the TEAR DOWN EVERYTHING that reminds them, insults them, offends them, or makes them feel like the VICTIMS somebody told them they are. Any questions?

    Sassy's post was great. A great history book that has not been rewritten by lefies is "A Patriot's History of the United States" by Larry Schweikart. History gets deleted and rewritten even more often than historical monuments are destroyed, it is the nature of politics.
