This workshop will present the quantitative findings of a study aimed at assessing what impact (1) traditional historical misinformation, and (2) the substitution of that information with revisionist history has on the perspectives of college pre-service and in-service education majors. In particular, we will investigate the impact James Lowen's "Lies My Teacher Told Me" has on that learning. The session will benefit educators and trainers who teach history and human and race relations courses.
