Poisoning Young Minds: Howard Zinn

There has been a lot of talk lately about whether indoctrination is going on in our public schools.

Howard Zinn has re-written history and the books are being used in public schools.

“The Institute for Policy Studies (IPS), a Washington-based think tank, recently carried a favorable review of a book by Howard Zinn.

While the reviewer — IPS co-founder Marcus Raskin — designates Zinn “the people’s historian,” nowhere is it mentioned that the late Mr. Zinn was a member of the Communist Party. His lying take on “history” has poisoned the minds of children in schools from K-12 and in universities from coast-to-coast. (See this column “Howard Zinn: Communist Liar,” Aug. 9, 2010, and “Is it safe to send your child to school?,” Sept. 7, 2010.)

So what else is new?”
