Lies My Teacher Told Me

Post by StillJulie » Thu Mar 12, 2009 7:33 pm

I recently got this book from the library. It deals with inaccuracies in American history books. I'm curious to know if others have read it, and how the history resources in HOD line up with the points the author asserts.

Haven't seen it but will be curious to hear if others have read it. I have heard that there are SO many inaccuracies in today's textbooks that it will be interesting to hear the response.

I have this book, I read a LONG time ago, before I had a relationship with Jesus so I did not read it with Godly eyes. I couldn't tell you how it lines up with HOD or a Christian worldview. I can say that it was a very interesting read and I do plan on reading it again to evaluate it for use in school. We are still unpacking from our move so I would have to find it in order to read it. :wink:

This does sound interesting...I've heard the same thing. In fact I believe that there is going to be a speaker at my hs convention that speaks about this very topic.
