My Middle East history textbook mis-translated it (probably deliberately) as “house of dissent” to make it sound less violent....PC crap is everywhere

(In fact, the word for dissent comes from a totally different and unrelated root than that of their word for war)

Sounds like something interesting to send to Larry Schweikart (Freeper name LS) to include in his info on lies in textbooks. Maybe you could even get it on Dr. Schweikart's Wednesday morning segment on Fox & Friends on Fox News channel.

Thanks for the info. There are actually many more lies in this book, but I don’t want to crash FR by listing them all ;)
