Killing Lincoln by Bill O'Reilly

Thanks Laurie! Sources seem to be a hot topic right now and my students enjoy discussing the topic. As far as the elimination of history in our educational system unfortunately I feel your correct. My district is actually taking two classes (Global I pre-history to 1500) and Global II 1500 to present) and combining the two into one class lasting one school year. Imagine that, combining the entire history of civilization into one class. And to top it off they are taking the teaching position and moving it into the science department. This is part of the push into taking our educational emphasis towards math and science. Not a very safe feeling for history teachers I can assure you that!
