The Memory HoleThe U.S. History Curriculum Under Siege\nAuthor(s): Fritz Fischer\nFormat: Hardback\nPublisher: Emerald Publishing Inc, United States\nImprint: Information Age Publishing\nISBN-13: 9781623965334, 978-1623965334\nSynopsis\nThe [url] history curriculum is under attack. Politicians, political analysts, and ideologues seek to wipe clean the slate of the American past and replace it with one of their own invention. The basis for this new narrative comes from political beliefs of the present, rather than any systematic examination of the past. These anti-historians campaign to insert their version of American history into the nations classrooms, hoping to begin a process that will forever transform our understanding of Americas past.\n\nThe Memory Hole examines five central topics in the US history curriculum, showing how anti-historians of both the left and right seek to distort these topics and insert a refashioned story in Americas classrooms. Ignoring facts, refashioning.
