1. History isn’t there to be liked or disliked.
2. History is there to be learned from.
3. History offends you? Even better. Then you’re less likely to repeat it.

Great to see such a positive review of History Education and Historical Inquiry (2024) in the Teachers College Record. The book was a labour of love by many hand. Great to see the results so positively appreciated in a leading journal in the international educational community, therefore. 1/2
