Lies My Teacher Told Me About Christophe by James W Loewen
The provided text, an excerpt from James W. Loewen’s Lies My Teacher Told Me, offers a sweeping critique of American high school history textbooks, arguing that they propagate a "feel-good" national narrative that is often inaccurate, incomplete, and Eurocentric. Loewen contends that textbooks engage in "heroification," simplifying complex figures like Woodrow Wilson and Christopher Columbus by omitting their flaws—such as Wilson's racism and colonialism, or Columbus’s brutal treatment of Indigenous peoples—and by perpetuating historical myths, like the flat-earth belief in 1492. Furthermore, the analysis asserts that these books fail students by ignoring controversial aspects of U.S. histo...

Facts My History Teacher Didn't Tell Me
The most defining difference between people in the US is not cultural, racial, ethnic, or gender based, but ideological. Second in the summer reading series is the title, "Lies My Liberal Teacher Told Me" by Winfred Reilly. The obvious relation to the older text "Lies My Teacher Told Me" by James Loewen is obvious. Where Reilly is upfront of his bias, Loewen obscures it (along with Howard Zinn). Reilly's work would help the diversity, equity, and inclusion that is championed in most classrooms today. ...

Examining the history and legacy of 'sundown towns' in Connecticut
For decades, there were cities and towns that were all-white on purpose. These communities are known as "sundown towns." Because this practice was both formal and informal, researchers put together a database of these laws, customs and firsthand accounts, under the leadership of the late sociologist and civil rights champion James Loewen. At the peak of the exclusionary practice in 1970, an estimated 10,000 communities across the U.S. kept out African-Americans through "force, law, or custom." Many sundown suburbs also excluded Jewish and Chinese Americans, and other minority groups. There are 40 towns listed as possible or...

Episode 14: The Past Is Never Dead
Today, a radicalized Republican party insists that the actual, complex, and often violent American past is not only false but divisive, left-wing, anti-white propaganda. It is not intended to teach the facts of history, GOP firebrands argue, but to indoctrinate helpless children with left ideology. As a result, around the country, much of the historical scholarship that twentieth-century historians fought to get into the high school curriculum is being systematically and forcibly censored. Seven states, most famously Florida, now ban the teaching of race in public schools, while legislatures in 16 more states are contemplating similar bans. And...
