#1 This "Project" isn't funny anymore.

Now that large school districts are adopting this foolishness, it's threatening to cause real damage.

Foisting Howard Zinn's fables on kids was bad enough, but teaching a generation that the American Revolution was fought to preserve slavery is beyond mad.

It's dangerously, foolishly, criminally wrong.

#2 It's dangerously, foolishly, criminally wrong.

Applies to anything our enlightened and highly credentialed Western elites stand for.

#3 At least we still have great historians like Wood, McPherson et al and their great historical works. Can't bury truth.
