Aus dem Klappentext
Fathers were cross-dressers. Paula Bunyan was a lumberjane. To Benedict Arnold, treason was just another lifestyle choice. This is not the American past you may remember from social studies class.
In The Politically Correct Guide to American History, U.S. history is rewritten according to the core curriculum of political correctness: frivolous lawsuits, animal rights activism, racial quotas, and in-your-face feminism. This wide-ranging tour de farce is a satirical stew of such varying topical material as tabloid journalism, gun control, and Britain's royal family. Nothing in American history is safe from revision: Theodore Roosevelt founds the Rough Riders to surmount a midlife crisis, the gang of outlaws at the O.K. Corral is recast as a freedom-loving private militia, and the Louisiana Purchase almost never happens because President Thomas Jefferson faces a sexual harassment suit from Sally Hemings.
