From the Paper:
""High school students hate history." So begins the powerful book; "Lies My Teacher Told Me" by James Loewen, which seeks to establish the underlying reasons for why this statement is all too. As Loewen puts it; "Our situation is this: American history is full of fantastic and important stories. These stories have the power to spellbind audiences, even audiences of difficult seventh graders. Yet they sleep through the classes that present it." (Loewen introduction)"Cite this Book Review:
