48 Liberal Lies about American History: (that You Probably Learned in School) | Larry Schweikart

pan

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 🙄. 16h

Dilara @BC_Dittemore The bad faith is breathtaking! 9h

BC_Dittemore @Dilara it literally is. Plenty of times where I had to just stop and gather my breath to push on. 44m

I know I'm super late in reading this, but even though the people in power have changed, so much of this is still super relevant, maybe even more than it was when this was written. How do we see through structural lies? Lying hasn't changed and being able to spot it is always important. I also loved the bit about Supply Side Jesus. #readingwithrory #rorysbooks #rorygilmorereadinglist #bookspinmarch

Am settling in to the "new life", and finally felt up to reading again ? Maybe I'll actually manage to finish my #bookspin book for March before the month is over. Hope you are all well and safe! ❤

Great book about how racism impacts so much from income equality to the economy. Enjoyed learning about the New Deal and how healthcare could be a new new deal.

Oh Al Franken and your #Indiscrestion(s)! My friend from college is married to his daughter, so I feel bad for them (his family), but we can‘t hold republicans to one standard and dems to another. For a perspective on the funniest part of the episode, see @tournevis ‘s post!

#StarTrekSummerJune I‘m not really in a place where I can continue Star Trek Summer. I‘m sorry to the people whose posts I have enjoyed. 💙

RamsFan1963 @Megabooks Sorry to hear that. I hope everything works out. 5y

So, Litsy A to Z (books into movies) 2018 didn‘t work. I admit I lost interest for VX and Z. I will try to do the regular old #litsyatoz with titles only. Life is too short to force yourself to read stuff you don‘t want to read. Lets be friends at Goodreads for the #Goodreads challenge (link in bio)
