As a former American History instructor of twenty years I would be willing to wager big bucks not a single high school graduate in the past fifty years would recognize the name of Howard Zinn. Know why?
It's because high school students open their history books, some might read but the rest listen to their instructor wishing he would fall of the face of the earth.
Howard Zinn is an historian. He wrote virtually every history book you and I and your kids read. He was also an avid socialist and if we took it further a communist sympathizer.
If one checked his background and socialist activities most would be appalled, others would be overjoyed.
It never hurts to understand what one's children are learning even if it comes from a commie.
