Thanks to Thom's history lesson on the French Revolution and Pol Pot, I get to say it again: Beware of people that want to reduce how much your children are taught.

From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Thom is a national treasure. Read him, embrace him, learn from him, and follow him as we all work for social change."
From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Right through the worst of the Bush years and into the present, Thom Hartmann has been one of the very few voices constantly willing to tell the truth. Rank him up there with Jon Stewart, Bill Moyers, and Paul Krugman for having the sheer persistent courage of his convictions."
From Unequal Protection, 2nd Edition:
"Beneath the success and rise of American enterprise is an untold history that is antithetical to every value Americans hold dear. This is a seminal work, a godsend really, a clear message to every citizen about the need to reform our country, laws, and companies."
Lynn Cheney (self-proclaimed historian) made sure U.S. History was left out of No Child Left Behind. As chair of NEA she had commissioned Gary Nash at UCLA to draft new History standards and she hated the standards his group came up with. Because it was "progressive" history. No surprise that the logical conclusion is the OK decision re AP History.
