Schweikart bases his arguments on the assumption that pre-college students are actually interested in history and that they have enough grasp of language to process implicit bias.

More than half the “lies” are the most random things that were marginally, if ever, in any textbooks I had.

What I appreciate about this book is the window it has given me to fallacious conservative arguments.

Bro should chill on the exclamation points!!

BC_Dittemore Oh! My favorite Lie: Native American‘s Were Great Environmentalists. Here Schweikhart argues that the ultimate reason for Indian decimation was their own lack of environmental awareness 🙄. 2d

BC_Dittemore @Dilara it literally is. Plenty of times where I had to just stop and gather my breath to push on. 1d
