Lies My Teacher Told Me: Everything Your American History Textbook Got Wrong by James W. Loewen
4.0
Should probably be called Lies My Text Books Told Me since many teachers are made to teach and not teach certain things (hello CRT) and shouldn't necessarily be blamed. Especially when he focused most on different text books and publishers.
I also wish more had been discussed about the Tulsa Race Massacre. He called the area that was attacked a ghetto but the Greenwood district was an affluent black community, sometimes referred to as Black Wall Street because of it. I'm assuming this slight was because of the dated information about the massacre but I hope if the author does another update he fixes this mistake.
