"Rigorous peer review." Ideological peers, that is. The education racket goes full steam ahead.

I’m surprised they even are going to mention him. At this point they are such liars they might just print the books with Hillary winning.

Conservatives need to pay far more attention to textbook bias. Organizations fighting it need to be fully funded.

“...designed to convey college-level information to high school students”

So they admit the bias.

That’s ok because MY PUBLIC SCHOOL, the one that I send my children to, would NEVER use an anti-American textbook. It is only THOSE public schools, the ones there, over there, and there - not MY PUBLIC SCHOOL. Oh my, never.

(standard FReeper rationalization for continuing to send their kids to public schools, DESPITE all these reports)

From your link....

....Tarra Snyder, a student at Rosemount High School in Minnesota, who saw a copy of the book sent to her school, told Fox News she was “appalled” after seeing how “blatantly biased” the newest edition of “By the People: A History of the United States” was toward Trump and his voters. She said it also glossed over all issues then-Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton faced during her campaign.

“There are specific parts where it goes off the rails from a historical textbook toward an op-ed,” Snyder said..

She told “Fox & Friends” she’s just raising a red flag and bringing attention to what was inside the textbook.

“It was really, really surprising to me,” she said. “I really believe that learning should be objective and that students can make their own decisions based on what they’re able to learn in a classroom, and if the facts are skewed then students aren’t able to make well-rounded decisions on what they believe.”

The textbook – published by British-owned, Pearson Education, and authored by New York University professor James Fraser – is currently being pitched to public high schools in an effort to get them to buy the latest edition.....


Folks need to wake up and make sure this drivel is NOT accepted in their public school districts.

Didn’t Trump get about double the black vote as went to the feckless “My Daddy marched with Martin Luther King” Romney?

Most thought that Trump was too extreme a candidate to win the nomination

And the last two Demon-rat candidates were middle of the road? ROTFL
