“Lies My Teacher Told Me”, James W. Loewen - Please Share Your Views

James W. Loewen has written award winning books and reviews history textbooks for accuracy, among his many endeavors. “Lies My Teacher Told Me” (1997) and the revised updated version (2007) are tremendous sources for truth seekers concerning everything from history to current events. Loewen provides exceptional chapter notes and references which lead to an enhanced learning experience and more accurate views. Explore the contents and index for a topic that interests you. For instances, American Presidents, who “discovered” America, African Americans, Indians, wars, Mexicans, September 11, 2001,are a few examples to get you started.

Over the next several weeks I will be involved in an Action Research course for my doctorate program and would deeply appreciate input concerning a couple of projects. There is one idea I am considering to focus on because even it doesn’t fit the course it involves history and current events, which I find immensely fascinating and great fun for discussions. For course project input, I would appreciate the following information including: your first name and last initial; your email address and/or website; the topic you reviewed; if, or how, reviewing the topic changed your views. You may include as much information and comments as you wish. I may not always respond promptly while the semester is in session, although I will want to, however I will save all submissions so I can respond as I am able.

The following is from a discussion I started which may be useful: http://mypeace.tv/profile/TheAngelPowerEmporium
One way to increase care for peace is to teach it in all levels of education whenever possible within a curriculum. My generation helped promote peace extensively and it is thrilling to see people the ages of my kids and grand kids who are also avid promoters of peace. My education goals include establishing an online academy for persons who have been out of school to assist them in returning to education or in finding new jobs by guiding them for success. I need to first find ways to obtain donations & funding for our non-profit charity to be able to grant scholarships that will assist low-income students in higher education.

The following concerns the charity and our ultimate goals: http://www.theangelpoweremporium.org/
The Angel Power Emporium, Inc. ~ TAPE for Cracks in the System ~

Each day WE allow President Bush and his administration to remain in office is the more We The People and Congress appear to condone:
Growing disrespect for the United States - from within and from without; multitudes of deaths, tortures, disabilities - to our own people and others; crimes against all humanity; loss of patriotism in truth (and LIFE) for our troops; NO compassion for our own needy citizens, veterans, and others around the globe; crimes against our very globe; and, so much more! Truly, the Clinton Impeachment did make the U. S. Looks rather silly to others, so now with Bush's lies causing extensive deaths and destruction - while still sending innocent troops into war with other innocent peoples - no one can respect the USA any longer for patriotism nor moral decency! We are in so many extremely shameful situations -- in war and at home -- and it is certainly time to set a good example while restoring order and respect by finally impeaching these inhumane, unpatriotic, lying, habitual criminals, and get our great nation healthy and respectful again!
P.S. Raise your hand if you realize to feel a twitch of shame every time you hear of suicides by veterans and young adults~~~~~

~The Angel Power Emporium~

Fifty years ago today, at age 7, I was getting settled in our new missionary community near a hospital in West Africa. Over the the next 2 1/2 years I had free-run of the hospital and spent extensive time rocking orphaned babies in the maternity ward, and, playing with the children at the small orphanage across the road. I saw the deepest poverty. We visited 20 countries around the globe, but the wonderful Africans have remained with me in my soul. Now, living in Ohio's Appalachian region of rampant poverty, my heart cries for the families here.

Tonight we watched the American Idol "America Gives Back" special, I cried many tears of sadness, yet tears of happiness when seeing those wonderful sweet African faces again, and, see America's poverty, too. Therefore, I am asking not just a personal favor, but a favor for the future of our world, when I plea:
Won't you, PLEASE, donate to this wonderful compassionate endeavor?
Simply contact American Idol. THANK YOU!!!
Peace,
Kathleen "AKUA"
