david mccaul of's books always sell biographies of hamilton so why do we kill students with this stuff this is the worst subject by the way so my major argument was that they were boring that yes, sometimes political usually to the left. >> host: give me some samples that you felt were wrong in the we were taught american history. >> guest: i can't remember the look of the famous six and was when i was the secretary of education and that was in new orleans, was in a school we came across a sentence in the book that they were using that talked of the puritans as englishmen who took a long trip search of new places to live. they wouldn't want to but the religion part in the and violates the first amendment but other books, howard zinn, enormously successful book and it's gotten great scholarship, but the people's history of the american republic is a pernicious book. it means left. he is explicit about it and says this is his perspective and point of view. he would be pretty depressed about america at that was the only book you read. >> host: you got your doctorate from the university of
