| | * United States History, Heritage of Freedom from ABEKA, written from a Christian perspective and hopefully would not contain the false information or and bias in liberal texts. The recommendation is that is well-organized and easy to read. It is listed at the 11th grade level, and is reasonably priced at $24. I have not examined it. Does anyone else know?--[[User:Aschlafly|Aschlafly]] 18:42, 9 August 2008 (EDT) | | * United States History, Heritage of Freedom from ABEKA, written from a Christian perspective and hopefully would not contain the false information or and bias in liberal texts.

| − | * The Princeton Review - "Cracking the AP U.S. History Exam." This is praised by some homeschoolers who took this exam, and the text does have an index and a useful listing of key events and terms. But [[liberal]] bias permits this book. It smears [[Ronald Reagan]]'s [[supply-side economics]], repeating epithets that it was "voodoo economics" and "trick down" economics. The book claims that "[a]t first" it had "little effect" and later "results were mixed." It never tells the student how tremendously successful "[[Reaganomics]]" was. Other signs of bias: capitulation to the [[gender police]] by replacing "strawman" with "straw dog," and unjustified claims of people migrating to America 20,000 to 40,000 years ago (p. 63).--[[User:Aschlafly|Aschlafly]] 10:19, 10 August 2008 (EDT) | + | * The Princeton Review - "Cracking the AP U.S. History Exam."

The book incorrectly explains the motivation for the [[Salem Witch Trials]]. The book has inappropriate, liberal-type editorializing comments inserted by the authors, such as "(How the monarchy came to sell the rights to land that it clearly did not own is just the kind of interesting question that this review will not be covering. Sorry, but it is not on the AP!)" (p. 64).--[[User:Aschlafly|Aschlafly]] 10:19, 10 August 2008 (EDT) |
