- Why Truth Is Not Taught
Not black and white. The truth of history IS taught in our schools. Just not the WHOLE truth. And frankly, it varies from school district to school district. Some tilt right. Others tilt left. Some history teachers use Zinn as their main text and focus almost solely on the common person (or I should say on Zinn's selected common person profiles). While others use the more traditional "Great Man" approach. It varies.
