What Must Not Be Taught

The impetus for the present study derives from a United States district court's condemnation of 44 history and social studies texts for failing to include any references to religion in shaping America's past. Further examination of nine of these texts, all senior high school American history works, reveals them to be defective in providing a historical framework for understanding another of the most fundamental changes in American life, that is, the extension of the United States market over the entire globe. Four “imperial” wars provide the basis for this analysis: the Spanish-American War, World War I, World War II, and the Cold War. The conclusion reached is that historical continuity, on which an objective analysis should be based, is almost totally lacking
