Synopsis
The Founding Fathers were cross-dressers. Paula Bunyan was a lumberjane. To Benedict Arnold, treason was just another lifestyle choice. This is not the American past you may remember from social studies class, because The Politically Correct Guide to American History rewrites U.S. history according to the core curriculum of political correctness: frivolous lawsuits, animal rights activism, racial quotas, and in-your-face feminism. This wide-ranging tour de farce is a satirical stew of such varying topical material as tabloid journalism, gun control, the Royal Family, and of course the O. J. Simpson trial.
In this cracked herstorical text, George Washington doesn't chop down a cherry tree - he murders a noble representative of a voiceless, beleaguered species. In a retold "The Devil and Daniel Webster," Satan is an innocent victim of fire-and-brimstone syndrome. The Louisiana Purchase almost never happens because President Thomas Jefferson faces a sexual harassment suit from Sally Hemings. The gang of outlaws at the O. K. Corral is recast as a freedom-loving private militia.
