Yeah, definitely read this book. What I've read so far is pretty incredible - how the companies that print the textbooks have to appease both the PC left and the religious right, how the entire education system is focused primarily on standardized tests, how history is either rewritten or blatantly ignored, etc. Shit, how the fuck are kids supposed to learn about the Civil War when the word "slavery" is banned? Ignorance is knowledge...or something to that effect...
