DUPO, IL - Fourth graders in Dupo Illinois are reading a biography of Barack Obama that's raising eyebrows among St. Clair County parents. The book, which supplements the school's Common Core curriculum, blames television for the negative behaviors the first African-American president picked up as a teen:

The book - brought to the attention this week of those on the "Moms Against Duncan - MAD" Facebook page, goes on to say white Americans were hesitant to vote for a black president, and that Obama pushed the race issue to bring the nation together.
"But some people said Americans weren't ready for that much change. Sure Barack was a nice fellow, they said. But white voters would never vote for a black president. Other angry voices were raised. Barack's former pastor called the country a failure. God would damn the United States for mistreating its black citizens, he said.The Bluffview Elementary students were told the book's content would be tested for grades. That brought outrage among parents just across the Mississippi River from St. Louis, one of the "MAD" moms reported.
BooksThis biography of America's 44th president, entitled "Barack Obama," is written by Jane Sutcliffe and published by Lerner. The book is part of Scholastic's "Reading Counts" program acceptable to the controversial Common Core curriculum standards.

If these parents actually “raised their eyebrows” enough they’d home school.
Government schools are child abuse
Sardines
Did the book mention that blacks only make up about 13% of the population and that dear “Barack” couldn’t have won without whites? Didn’t think so.
Obama is bi racial just asking was the white side of him included in bio on voting ?
He managed to get elected without white people voting for him?
Most amazing man there’s ever been...
But some people said Americans weren't ready for that much change. Sure Barack was a nice fellow, they said. But white voters would never vote for a black president.
Reading comprehension, people. This is saying that some people said that Obama wouldn't be elected because he is (half-)black. That is 100% correct - there were many people (race-baiters, mostly, and almost entirely on the left). Absent further context, I don't think there's much "there," there.
Most amazing man that’s ever been.
I see what you did there.
+10 for slick and subtle.
Shhhh. Facts. Shhhh. We don’t talk about that.
Liberal guilt don't work anymore... Make sure your kids know the truth. Don't be afraid to call the "educational establishment" out on this crap.
He de general, de president, de king of de scene...
Fixed.
Common Core is 0bamaCore (or is that ‘Corps’ (or Corpse)).
Yeah, I read the reviews on Amazon - brutally honest, calling the author a race baiter, etc.
There. Fixed your fix.
'War on Women, the Sequel' coming soon by Team Hillary.
Looking at your pic and I wonder FORWARD to what? Do these dummies, I mean mentally challenged, women have even a clue what we’re moving forward to? It seems people with short attention spans need short slogans like Lets Move, Just do it, and Shake your booty, If it feels good do it, to name a few. Mindless half wits married to mindless half wits producing new mindless half wits, strike the married part, is there any longer an America to save? The only answer I see is Go Galt.
Or that a percentage of those blacks are convicted felons or are underage and can’t vote so the actual percentage of voting adults is much less than 13% of the population.
