POM- I didn't mean to suggest that it was an intentional decision, it just is. Fact and reality, IMO, as it relates to American history in this country, has been mis-represented forever. I think of the Native American Indians as an example. Political Science as WE know it, doesn't seem to comport with what the rest of the world knows.
