So teaching about monopolies and anti-trust laws is not politically correct anymore?

  With how many "pro-business" Republican state governments are getting obsessed with the HS history curriculum these days...would you expect those governments to be happy with the actual historical facts about (say) the Sherman Anti-Trust Act? Never mind the fact that Senator Sherman was an Ohio Republican, and the younger brother of famed Civil War General William T. Sherman. And with how pro-business - or at least pro-extreme-wealth - the Democratic Party has grown since the 1970's...I would not expect them to like that that bit of history, either. Even though ~every Democratic Senator of the time voted in favor of the Sherman Anti-Trust Act.
