On this thread - isn't this the whole reason that Gingrich fired his historian friend? She wanted to bring in 'a second opinion' to an educational experience. That in itself is a lesson as to WHY we need history to remain controversial and multi-sided. Waiting until the upper levels of college to become aware of the dynamics of history means preaching only to the converted. We need to start in high school where we still reach everyone. Or through our museums and public programs that reach large groups. Nancy Wynen Florida Atlantic University Boca Raton, FL
