A fifth grade teacher is concerned that too many important people have been left out of the history textbook “History Alive! America’s Past” that is going to be used next year. People like Patrick Henry and Harriet Beecher Stowe missing. “Give me liberty or give me death” and the Trail of Tears is also missing.

Bert Bower who produced the book says that the missing is available through websites.

I am going to have to side with the teacher on this one. I do not want to see compromised textbooks, but I also do not want to see a teacher use 100% of a textbook and nothing else.
