Reviews"Wilfred Reilly is the indispensable man in today's politics: brash, fearless, hilarious, and insightful, he frustrates his enemies as he baffles with hard realities. Lies My Liberal Teacher Told Me is a vital work, and everyone interested in politics should have a copy on the bookshelf." -- Ben Shapiro "Wilfred Reilly channels the spirit of Thomas Sowell in his new book, Lies My Liberal Teacher Told Me, which masterfully debunks left-wing talking points on race, sex, colonialism, and more. Reilly is a fearless writer who delights in confronting long-standing taboos and marshaling social science to correct the recording. This book is the antidote to mindless liberalism." -- Christopher F. Rufo "Lies My Liberal Teacher Told Me is the perfect book for combating the false narratives and fake history that have robbed too many high school and college students of critical thinking skills. Using facts and data, Reilly takes readers on an unforgettable journey that will leave them wondering what other lies they have believed." -- Carol M. Swain
SynopsisA college professor debunks the false liberal narratives which define much of America's school curricula. In 1995, James W. Loewen penned the classic work of criticism, Lies My Teacher Told Me, a left-leaning corrective that addressed much of what was sanitized and omitted from American history books. But in the more than two decades that followed, false leftist narratives--as wrong as those they supplanted--have come to dominate American academia and education. Now, in the spirit of that original book, Professor Wilfred Reilly demolishes the academic myths propagated by the left. In Lies My Liberal Teacher Told Me, he offers fresh angles on "established" events, turning what we think we know about the nation's history on its head. Reilly explains how there actually were communists in Hollywood; how the cultural stereotype of Native American culture as completely peace-loving is both untrue and patronizing; and how, while history was almost always bad for Black Americans, history was much worse for everyone than we realize. Smart, irreverent, and deeply researched, Lies My Liberal Teacher Told Me will revolutionize our understanding of America's past while offering a refreshing way to teach and think about history., A college professor debunks the myths that have infiltrated America's school curricula. In 1995, James W. Loewen penned the classic work of criticism Lies My Teacher Told Me , a left-leaning corrective that addressed much of what was sanitized and omitted from American history books. But in the decades that followed, false leftist narratives--as wrong as those they supplanted--have come to dominate American academia and education. Now, in the same spirit but updated for 2024, Wilfred Reilly demolishes the scholastic myths propagated by the left, uncovers fresh angles on "established" events, and turns what we think we know about history upside down. Among the popular lies he debunks: "The 'Red Scare' was a moral panic that caught no commies" "Native Americans were peaceful people who spent all day dancing" "European colonialism was--empirically--a no-good, terrible, very bad thing" "The racist 'Southern Strategy' turned the South Republican" "The Vietnam War was unpopular and pointless" Lies My Liberal Teacher Told Me sets the record straight on many of these myths, explaining that there actually were communists in Hollywood; that many Native American tribes were cannibals, owned slaves and made them march the Trail of Tears with them; and that history, while almost always bad for Black Americans, was much worse for all of us than we tend to think it was. Smart, irreverent, and deeply researched, Lies My Liberal Teacher Told Me will revolutionize your understanding of history and reveal a new and refreshing way to teach and think about the past.
