Unlike other sciences, history is not based on an objective truth. History can be distorted at its extremity if a deviser of history ignores matters that are unfavourable for him and picks up only favourable events.
All teachers are unavoidably liable to becoming a lier if they had to use only such distorted textbooks. All teachers need to introduce not only one view but also other views aside from what those textbook say as to one historical event. We will be able to form some common recognition of history through exchanging different views as to one event.
James Loewen's book is worth reading, thanks for referring.
