Is most USA history, as taught, really false?

Paul Revere actually did the opposite thing and rode TO the Brits to warn them that the Americans were armed.

I saw a show about where children's books are coming from.
Three companies with liberal views provide the poor education for our children.
Just teach them yourself by correcting the history lesson AFTER they are through with their test in that area.

It is amazing what liberals think. So you actually think that Paul Revere went to WARN THE BRITISH??!!?? He was stopped by the British- he was not riding to warn the British.
