Howard Zinn | Here and Now

I missed the show but plan to catch it somehow.

I was surprised to be listening to Howard Zinn on the radio yesterday. He was doing an interview on Here and Now promoting a project he has called "The People Speak". Apparently The History Channel aired this on Sunday info here.

More on the project here.

This leads me to start questioning how we are going to teach Gabriel about history and society at large. Obviously it is something to watch given all the bigoted, racist, and sexist crap the so-called Christians keep trying to cram into history books. They apparently think this is Christ-like behavior. I think it's borderline evil and I really don't want that crap filling my kid's head if I can help it. I'd rather he hear real words from real people and that's where folks like Howard Zinn come in.
