About this listen

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.

I liked how this book touched on current events, but is more so a deeper dive into the history of these topics. I found it very educational

Great variety of information

An excellent presentation of facts by a researcher that counters the narrative of advocates. Fifteen word minimum.

Setting the record straight

Good job! Excellent research, I followed up on this work and found it strikingly accurate. It is dazzling to have revealed the depths some humans will go to keep power and wealth.

I hope the author does not get black listed.

I recommend it as a companion piece with lies my teacher told me. Read both! learn from both!

a good criticism

Wilfred is that demon that democrats hate the most - a black conservative that exposes the lies the leftist national socialist elite in America have been pushing for decades.

One of the best books I have ever read.

A total mic drop moment dispelling many ridiculous and perpetuated mistruths, perpetuated by the left over the last decades

timely accurate truths

This is a good book for information. Sometimes the numbers get a little overwhelming, but overall a very good read.

Very interesting

Professor Reilly is not covering new ground here. These are common countervailing arguments to old left of center assertions. What Professor Reilly does do is collect the new pertinent data that seldom ever gets equal representation by the wider academic society or the media & drags it into the light much to the consternation of those who wish to sell you their narrative.

Supporting data to older claims

Excellent
