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 Screwed:
"I think many of us recognize that for all but the wealthiest, life in America is getting increasingly hard. Screwed explores why, showing how this is no accidental process, but rather the product of conscious political choices, choices we can change with enough courage and commitment. Like all of Thom’s great work, it helps show us the way forward."
From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Through compelling personal stories, Hartmann presents a dramatic and deeply disturbing picture of humans as a profoundly troubled species. Hope lies in his inspiring vision of our enormous unrealized potential and his description of the path to its realization."
From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"With the ever-growing influence of corporate CEOs and their right-wing allies in all aspects of American life, Hartmann’s work is more relevant than ever. Throughout his career, Hartmann has spoken compellingly about the value of people-centered democracy and the challenges that millions of ordinary Americans face today as a result of a dogma dedicated to putting profit above all else. This collection is a rousing call for Americans to work together and put people first again."
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.
