Brainwashing in the High Schools: An Examination of Eleven American History Textbooks
()
About this ebook
The Communist brainwashers recognized and took skillful advantage of the Americans’ ignorance and confusion concerning United States history, the free-enterprise economy, and the representative system of government.
Placing the blame squarely on faulty presentation of history and social studies in the American schools, Professor Root, author of the controversial Collectivism on the Campus, examines eleven of the most widely used United States history textbooks. In these books he finds overwhelming evidence of hostility to traditional American principles, of left-wing partisanship and of class-warfare ideology.
Professor Root presents the evidence in these pages, and upon it he bases the following conclusions:
that American students are indoctrinated with a Marxian concept of United States history...
that the present school generation is being conditioned to accept a socialistic and totalitarian way of life...
that, as a consequence, resistance to Communist cold-war techniques is being broken down.
Brainwashing in the High Schools quotes freely from the eleven textbooks to illustrate their “biased presentation” of American history from the time of the founding Fathers to the mid-twentieth century. The author makes a strong case and suggests radical changes in educational approach if we are to survive as a free nation. His book is essential reading for parents and for every teacher of history and social studies.
