What an interring article #NonfictionMatters

“Each of the books had a recently published edition customized for students in Texas and another edition customized for students in California, allowing us to see how a conservative and a liberal state are teaching history differently.”

Hopefully, this link will work and not be behind a paywall or anything🙈

Fantastic read with sections broken up into smaller parts which can be read in just a few minutes. The book is fantastically written for the laymen, with great information for the professional as a jumping off point
