Have you ever wondered, just for a moment, “what are my children being taught?”
Conservatives want you to be educated, and they know that most of the time just going by what you’re told in the classroom isn’t enough. Conservatives would rather you look at all sides of the issue, and then decide for yourself which one makes the most sense, instead of just being given the politically correct opinion with the expectation of passing it on. Something conservatives often say to help with this is “read your kid’s textbooks!” But how many people actually have the time and the patience to do that? Many adults I know are usually too busy supporting their families to worry about much else, let alone scouring their children’s textbooks for politically slanted or historically inaccurate information.
Dear Reader, I’m here to tell you that you don’t have to. As a concerned high school sophomore, I’m making this series–with exact excerpts taken right off the page of my history textbook–to easily show people just what their kids are learning. In the coming weeks, readers of NRB will be getting a special inside look at textbook crap at its crappiest.
The textbook transliterated for this series is “World History: Patterns of Interaction,” by Holt McDougal.
