Subject: [NCAH] Students oppose just rosey history

Make me proud of these students who objected to the editing of history
books to only give a positive view of US history.  This move is not
unlike the recent move by the ruling military Thai Govt. that edited out
the first democratically elected prime minister from the high school
history textbooks
  Here are links to both stories.

The ruling generals remove former premiers from the nation's history books.
