Lies My Teacher Told Me

Description

This section is about certification, a degenerative procedure (much like calcification) that makes individuals over into saints. Through this procedure, our educational media transform fragile living creatures and blood people into a devout, immaculate creature without clashes, torment, believability, or human interest. Many American history course readings are studded with personal vignettes of the celebrated (Land of Promise dedicates a container to every president) and the famous (The Challenge of Freedom gives “Did You Know?” boxes about Eliza-beth Blackwell, the principal lady to move on from clinical school in the UnitedStates, and Lorraine Hansberry, writer of A Raisin in the Sun, among many other’s). In themselves, vignettes are not an impractical notion. They educate by human examples.
