The Untold History of the United States ~ Chapter 1 - World War II

10. Mike, it's not one person's side of the story vs another's. History isn't only he said-she said

The other thing Stone does is misrepresent how history is actually being taught. As a certified US history teacher, I get to see what the actual curriculum is that's taught to kids. Stone frequently suggests that major parts of US history are being ignored if they make the US look bad. Even in Texas, where I teach, that's simply not true. Except for some of the kookier stuff Stone and his co-author put out there (the 1979 Soviet invasion of Afghanistan was a "trap" set up by the Carter Administration, the Berlin Wall prevented a larger confrontation with the West, etc) most of the "UNTOLD" stuff he covers in the documentary is also covered in the state approved curriculum.
