The history of the American labor movement and the socialist wave front that propelled FDR to the presidency for four terms are never discussed in American schools because capitalists control what our children are taught. Howard Zinn should be required 9th grade reading.

    The Business Plot, a series of corporations conspired to overthrow FDR, was also hidden from history books.

    Corporate leaders and oligarchs don't want the People to ever be so strong that they can topple businesses with monopoly charges and jail time for shareholders.
