Certainly part of the reason why America is falling behind and seems to exist in a parallel universe, especially when it comes to assessing its own history.

MSNBC - American textbooks are both grotesquely bloated (so much so that some state legislatures are considering mandating lighter books to save students from back injuries) and light as a feather intellectually, flitting briefly over too many topics without examining any of them in detail. Worse, too many of them are pedagogically dishonest, so thoroughly massaged to mollify competing political and identity-group interests as to paint a startlingly misleading picture of America and its history.

But hey, the U.S. is still No.1 in weaponry, consumer spending, debt, and delusion.
