history that dominated the country for far too long and still insist on being the only history that should be taught.

I have a set of history books published in the 1800s to the mid-1900s and those books go so far as to claim that everything good about Africa was brought about by "white" Africans.

The books purport to be "world" history with emphasis on America, its founding, and how just wonderful white Christian men have been for the world.

They get worse from there. Denying America's actual history in favor of the great white father take on America.

No women, no people of color honored as they should be. Slavery treated as not-so-bad.

Just white Christian men doing everything good and nothing bad.

Hawley wants to stop the truth from being told in favor of all vanilla and goodness all the time.
