Great for history teachers to read and just another reason why American history textbooks push a myth instead of reality.

Overall, I think this was a solid four-star book for various reasons. I still find the flaw that Loewen mentions in his other work too many times because it took away from the point of this book. I also have issues with his stereotyping of teachers as women and always using the pronouns ‘her’ for a teacher. Teachers can be of any gender and using the pronoun ‘they’ would have been more inclusive. While Loewen has an understanding of racial discrimination, he needs education on gender discrimination. I do see this book particularly useful for US history teachers, but it would be nice to have tips for World History teachers as well (yes I am aware this was written targeted towards the US History curriculum but why does US History matter more than World History, shouldn’t they both get equal frameworks and tips for improvement).
