Matt Damon Brings Howard Zinn to Life

Zinn’s book is as ubiquitous in high school and university classrooms as sexual tension. His website proudly asserts that “no other radical historian has reached so many hearts and minds.” Well certainly, no other has darkened as many young hearts toward America and clouded as many young minds with utter disdain for facts and objectivity. Like his fellow academic cult figure Noam Chomsky and President Obama’s former associate and likely ghostwriter, unrepentant-terrorist-turned-radical-educator William Ayers, Zinn’s world view is powered by a relentless and hateful leftist fantasy: that the American government is and always has been racist, oppressive, warmongering, and ruthlessly exploitative, and that it must be subverted. And that subversion begins in classrooms all across America.

The principal goal of “Voices of a People’s History of the United States,” a “social justice” non-profit, is to provide thousands of schools across the country with Zinn’s reading materials and curricula, in-class activities, and group projects. The organization is raising funds to support teacher training programs, travel to education conferences, and other support for teachers who use Zinn materials in class.

This most recent Chicago benefit performance raised money for a year-long “arts project” for about a thousand local schools. In a fawning news segment for ABC about the Chicago performance last week, Damon says in the interview:

Your job as a citizen, whatever you believe, is to engage and participate. And that’s really the message that we want kids to take away. Because an engaged, an active citizenry is always going to make for a better country.

Really? Actually, as Thomas Jefferson supposedly noted, it’s an informed citizenry that is the bulwark of a democracy, and Damon and Zinn are not so much informing Americans as snowing them with destructive propaganda, which leads to the wrong kind of “active and engaged.”
