After 40+ years of reporting, I now understand the importance of limited government and personal freedom. ------------------------------------------ Libertarian journalist John Stossel created Stossel TV to explain liberty and free markets to young people. Prior to Stossel TV he hosted a show on Fox Business and co-anchored ABC’s primetime newsmagazine show, 20/20. Stossel’s economic programs have been adapted into teaching kits by a non-profit organization, "Stossel in the Classroom." High school teachers in American public schools now use the videos to help educate their students on economics and economic freedom. They are seen by more than 12 million students every year. Stossel has received 19 Emmy Awards and has been honored five times for excellence in consumer reporting by the National Press Club. Other honors include the George Polk Award for Outstanding Local Reporting and the George Foster Peabody Award.
Video Description
Americans are taught that the native people were stewards of the environment. Movies like Pocahontas sell that message. But Wilfred Reilly’s new book, “Lies My Liberal Teacher Told Me” debunks this and other myths about America’s history. ———— To get our new weekly video from Stossel TV, sign up here: https://www.johnstossel.com/#subscribe ———— Government guides for teachers say, “Native Americans lived in harmony with nature… They did not kill anything they could not use.” I believed it! But Reilly points out the Natives took slaves, set big forest fires to clear land, and often were just as cruel as white Europeans. Our new video looks at myths American schools still teach.
