Although I think the best thing to do is read another Holmes book, I think the "incorrectness" of SiS is still a matter of healthy debate. Alas, this thread isn't in the religion forum, but I will recommend "Under The Banner of Heaven" for an opposing viewpoint on Mormon history and a few relatively-mass murders that no one can *quite* agree if they were committed by Mormons or by American Natives or by a third, unknown party.
It's probably better to just teach Holmes with a different book, though, than turn an English class into a History class on a contentious subject.
