Swing and a miss. (read the comments as well)

I'm a history professor who talks regularly with other history professors and history teachers: I know of no one who teaches Zinn in isolation or as a sole course text. Try again, @jonathanchait https://t.co/uNbyONyCK9

This take-down of A People’s History of the United States is unfair to Zinn, but also to the teachers who use the book in their classrooms. Wiseburg assumes we simply *replace* textbooks with APHUS. https://t.co/tRL5DyxAs0
