Im convinced that science education needs to undergo reform
as much as history education. Damien, as you may have already
suspected, history really isnt being taught in American schools
anyway, at least not in some of them. Such as the ones I attended.
If we were to use Burke's books as a guide, I think we could do
a reasonable job in presenting history from a non-political viewpoint.
The problem may be in finding enough teachers who understand
this paradigm.
