A People’s History is just not any book. It has become a widely used history book in public high schools all around the country. Although the book was first published in 1980 by Harper Collins, the leftist actor Matt Damon ensured the book’s popularity by recording and distributing CD’s of the books. Kids don’t even have to read it. They can just sit back and listen.
Anti-Americanism has long been a force at American institutions of higher education, but now it has become established in our public schools. A People’s History of the United States enjoys wide distribution and use at our high schools. There are many other such books that present America as the world’s problem, and not a source of freedom and liberty. If America’s young are taught with history that fails to discuss American Exceptionalism based upon Judeo-Christian principles and instead has a focus on America the wicked, we will have an America that we do not recognize in the next generation.
