Does Howard Zinn Transform Amn School Children Into Jihadis?

It has only been 3.5 weeks since we effectively focused on Howard Zinn’s “A People’s History of the United States” (Harper - 2/4/2003) which is required reading in most American colleges and universities, and in many American high schools.

All 25 of his chapters contain nothing but unrelenting criticism of the United States!!!

Indeed, of the 14 chapters dealing with 1900-2002, not even Our Greatest Generation and U.S. participation in World War II escape a barrage of unrelenting criticism!!!

And to cap it all off, the War on Terrorism (addressed in Zinn’s final Chapter 25) is portrayed as unjust American opposition to legitimate grievances that Radical Islam has against America. So once again, everything is all the fault of The Great Satan!!!

To facilitate the use of Zinn’s preaching in most (not merely many) American high schools, his message was massaged into “A YOUNG People’s History of the United States" (© 2007, 2009 by Howard Zinn).

Dummied down slightly, but loaded with additional unrelenting criticism of The Great Satan for 2002-2006!!!

So why are we so surprised that the fighting ranks of Al Qaeda in Iraq, aka ISIS, aka ISIL, aka The Islamic State include hundreds of young Americans (perhaps even thousands since American intelligence admits it has no way of tracking many, if not most, of those who have joined up)???

Instead, we should marvel that not EVERY young American who has been indoctrinated by the American educational system with the Gospel According to Saint Howard has joined AQI/ISIS/ISIL/TIS!!!
