Talk:US History/Preface

His Story
Oh boy. Another "US History," which should actually be spelled "His Story." Basing this document on a patriarchical model that treats the involvement and influence of women on the history of the US does a disservice to Wikibooks readers. Yes, of course we can edit the document, and no doubt more appropriate content will be included, but it'll be like writing your way up Mt. Everest.

So, here's a challenge: Let's make this document reflect the true history of the US, the history that includes the good, the bad and the ugly. Because otherwise, this will simply be another in the long line of lies that have been handed down from one High School generation to the next, a glossy coating of mostly white male-dominated accomplishments that perpetuates the status-quo power structure.

 * Criticism is appropriate, certainly, and appreciated. Contributions, providing an example of overlooked topics and perspectives would be even more appreciated, at least by this contributor. erraunt 19:28, 30 September 2005 (UTC)

Length concerns
I could add to this, but i would be seriously annoyed if the book got "too" long. In other words, wikipedia has its uses. - Cyberman &mdash;the preceding unsigned comment is by 68.255.69.27 (talk &bull; contribs) 03:54, 12 February 2006 (UTC)
