“Others answered it blaming the Crusaders as invaders into Muslim territory and they were marked correctly! No! It’s not both! But the teacher was afraid to argue the point with me.”
Smart move on their part. They managed to shut you up by giving your kid the grade she deserved, but kept the brainwashing program intact, without otherwise seeing the light of day.
That’s one of the many reasons why my kids NEVER stepped foot in a public school.
The muzzies still believe that nonsense about the Crusades. Whenever I discuss it with them I ask if Mohammed was acting in self defense why didn’t he stop his advances once all Christians were of of his lands? Kinda hard to claim self defense when you expanded all the way to the western coast of Africa and most of Europe.
I wish history was the only halffast teaching that is getting done. About three decades ago when my son was getting into grade school, I offered to help screen a batch of new text books the school dist. was considering. I didn’t have any trouble at all finding errors and incomplete, inaccurate, wishywashy, etc. info in all of them. Every teacher I talked to said they prety much looked for large readable text and lots of colored pictures. Turns out they really didn’t think textbook selection was part of their job. I was already determined to weed out any BS my son came home with but the book experience welded it in place for me. I battled the BS dragon for all the rest of the years, including college, that he was in school. And I came to believe, even tho it was a lot of work, That battling bullstuff and getting to some truth inspite of it, has to be part of the broad educational experience. My son is now really hard to fool and has been far more successful than any of his classmates.
