Although he makes a few decent points in the course of the book, the author clearly imbibed entirely too much multi-cultural, anti-America kool-aid. He has also spent too much time in a college setting to functionally grasp the realities of how high schools work and the battles teachers, administrators and parents fight on multiple fronts just to keep them running on a daily basis in many parts of the country.Everyone knows there's plenty of room for improvement in high school history courses, but I don't see the answers coming from here. If you read this, do so for the interesting historical content the author discusses (or the entertainment value of his overly liberal perspective) and be prepared to take everything with more than a few grains of salt.
