SLAVERY:

Schools teach children that, when it comes to slavery, America was the worst.

But Wilfred Reilly, author of “Lies My Liberal Teacher Taught Me,” says that’s just not true.

“Slavery around the world, was slavery,” says Reilly in our new video.

He believes it’s better to teach the truth – that almost every society had slavery: the Aztecs, Persians, Egyptians, Greeks, Romans, Vikings, and most of all, the Islamic world.

American slavery was horrible. But it wasn’t unique.

Our culture would be healthier if we learned about that.

NOBLE WARRIOR:

Americans are taught that the native people were stewards of the environment.

Movies like Pocahontas sell that message.

But Wilfred Reilly’s new book, “Lies My Liberal Teacher Told Me” debunks this and other myths about America’s history.

Government guides for teachers say, “Native Americans lived in harmony with nature… They did not kill anything they could not use.”

I believed it!

But Reilly points out the Natives took slaves, set big forest fires to clear land, and often were just as cruel as white Europeans.

Our new video looks at myths American schools still teach.
