Our History Books

I want to center my hypertext around the question of who writes our high school history books? Do the authors accurately describe every event without bias, and do they give a alternative viewpoints? Basically do we give weight to all opinions and versions of history or not. I think the real conflict is whether the economics and politics of high school history books take precedence over the actual learning. I will get a stronger conflict once I start my research. I think Doctorow, through the use of Ms. Galvez, Charles, and Mrs. Anderson, believes that our history books aren't getting it right. He has Ms. Galvez describe protest movements in detail, and from a contrasting point of view, which is in conflict with Charles ideals which were ingrained in him through the mind numbing teaching of history.
