High school History textbooks aren't just poor because of their reading level. They're also chock full of false narratives and inexcusable omissions.

I didn't fully understand why until this year, when I was having a discussion with my DD's school, and the district GT coordinator declared the purpose of education: "To successfully integrate children into society." Which apparently means "brainwash."

I really shouldn't ask this question, but...

...which "false narratives" and "inexcusable omissions" are we talking about here?
