The JFK Assassination in HS Textbooks - Jim DiEugenio - 16-04-2016
This is Canadian professor Paul Bleau's survey of how modern textbooks treat the JFK case.
Please note the sources that the authors, by their own admission, used.This makes it a closed circle between the MSM and what kids read about in class.

This is not writing history, its stenography.

Yes. Some thing that Nathaniel Heidenheimer has been trying to counter for years. Getting kids to really know their history.

He shows how the AHA violates its own standards in regards to the JFK case.
The JFK Assassination in HS Textbooks - Peter Lemkin - 17-04-2016
While horrible, it goes along with all the other lies by commission/omission and skewed history in History texts about Native Americans, the 'founding fathers', slavery, wars against unions and organizing of the citizenry, financial and political manipulations and dirty dealing, the various wars of aggression and the false-flag excuses used to incite/justify them, various citizen revolts over time, control of the population by propaganda, the fact that the USA was never intended to be a real democracy - but a democratic sheep's costume worn by the Oligarchy-wolves and their secret government minions, the other hidden assassinations and false-flag operations, the American Empire taking over for the British one during WWII, our longstanding and growing lack of freedoms and rights, etc., et al.
Books like Zinn's A People's History of the United States is corrective, but such texts are rarely offered as supplemental reading until one is in University, usually in graduate school and only for those in a few more progressive history or political science programs by the few professors who know, care and dare to be thrown out of academia. The current history books are only good for door stops, if that.
Remember too that Texas plays a disproportional role in what gets into History textbooks [propaganda manuals].

Read the whole thing.
Unfortunately Bleau is talking table manners to wolves. We probably won't be rid of this problem until we act upon it as the founding fathers intended us to. The American people are not credible to the upholding of true democracy as intended.
The people who killed JFK are now putting Cuban exile son Cruz up as candidate because that is how they operate. They like f-ing with us.
The JFK Assassination in HS Textbooks - Phil Dagosto - 17-04-2016
Even without the CIA influence I suspect most textbook authors are reluctant to embrace anything contradicting the establishment stance on the JFK case. I'm sure they're also not writing much about RLK, MLK, the stolen presidential elections of 2000 and 2004 or 9/11 that would upset the PTB. They most likely fear professional ostracism and loss of future publishing opportunities. They're happy to point to Shenon, Posner and Bugliosi because it lets them off the hook. See, someone else already looked into this and said there was nothing to see. So claiming that they're waiting to "see the evidence" is intellectually dishonest. They've refused to consider any of the mountain of evidence refuting the lone nut theory that has emerged or have glibly dismissed it as lunatic ravings. They're no different than the media in this respect.

Shocked, I'm really shocked, I tell you. School texts are so horrible - and they do mostly come from Texas (where Mel & Norma Gabler acted as the Spanish Inquisition for textbook publishers). When I was coming up in the late 70s/early 80s, history class bored the hell out of me. And I liked history! But the textbooks were dumbed down to the point where most of my peers never wanted to read another book or hear another thing about history ever again. Which I think is the whole goal of our "education" system.
