So you would contend your history books, content, emphasis and themes are unchanged vs "those years older"?

---

No, but this is not something new, plus it's a good money making scheme irrespective of political ideology.

You would contend books highlighting politically influenced science such as anthropogenic global warming are unchanged vs "those years older"?

---

No, but global warming is a relatively new theory, so politics or not, this was going to occur anyways.

You would contend that learning/teaching methods are unchanged vs "those years older"?

No, but as a person who had to study learning theories for graduate school, like any other field that has an empirical basis, a lot of change is a result of that. But much of the basic principles from the mid-20th century are still in place (Behavioral theory, Cognitive theory).

If those are your contentions, I can tell you point blank you are wrong.

Well I wasn't referring to those obvious contentions, nor was I implying nothing has changed.

You made specific statements about very extreme and troubling changes from objectivity to subjective indoctrination. I was saying that this was not something that I personally experienced. So I was questioning how pervasive those changes were, especially since they are newsworthy--and newsworthy stories are often atypical, extreme, negative, and/or emotionally-laden.
