Fun Link: Maiden History 101

Day in Rock reports: It's Friday, time to screw off a bit. That's why we bring you the "Fun Link". This week's link comes from one of our readers. Upon clicking the full story link you will be able to enjoy an Open Letter to Principle Stevens Posted by the Harry S. Truman High School's Stoner All-Star Team. It turns out that Mr. Bradley is using revisionist history in his World History 101 class and gave a student that pointing out a glaring omission in the curriculum an F. Here is a taste of the open letter. 

" �the class text 'World History & You!' is a complete joke. This so-called 'educational' textbook completely ignores the crucial influence of Iron Maiden's mascot 'Eddie' in the events that have shaped human history. From the dawn of man to a vaguely futuristic time, Eddie has been there- usually opting to not take a direct role but rather crouch nearby significant historical events with a ghoulish and/or menacing stare. The omission of Eddie from the text amounts to dangerous revisionist history on the part of the publishers, who I assume are probably really big fags who listen to Warrant."

 The student goes on to make a convincing case about how Iron Maiden are far better history teachers than your average high school history class. Click the full link to read it all and be sure to check out the photo evidence at the end. [see full story for more]- Click Here for the Full Story
