SEE HOW RONALD REAGAN SHAPED THE 1980's

With the Social Studies curriculum and Texas textbook wars raging, most conservatives are eager to make sure young people are taught about American Exceptionalism and the virtues of free enterprise.

Written by Peggy Venable, director of the 1984 Republican National Convention, one way to teach about America's virtues is to study the Reagan era.

Venable's presentation takes a deep and detailed look into Ronald Reagan's years as president of the United States. Examine the man who led the country throughout the 1980s and delve into the policies, strengths, and weaknesses of the Reagan Administration. Includes a detailed biography of Reagan as well as an overview of 1980s pop culture. Written for high school students. Purchase at Teachers Discovery ($31.95)
