Barron’s Educational Series, the maker of popular Advanced Placement study guides, has apologized for linking Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas to fascism and comparing him to the KKK.
The Daily Caller reported Monday about the extreme comparison, found on page 168 of the 7th edition of Barron’s AP European History study guide.
“It has been brought to our attention that Barron’s AP European History, 7th Edition by Seth Roberts and James Eder contains erroneous information that casts aspersions on Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas,” reads a statement released by the company on Tuesday.
“In an attempt to draw a comparison between current-day politics in the U.S. and the French National Assembly during the French Revolution, the diagram on page 168 equates Clarence Thomas with the KKK, while labeling him as a ‘reactionary and/or fascist.’”
Specifically, the study guide linked Thomas, who is black, to the racist KKK, stating that both “want things like they used to be.”
In its statement, the company apologized and called the comparison “an unintentional error.”

I agree with Cruz.
You’d be hard-pressed to find anyone more anti-drug than I am. The reason I agree is two-fold. 1. States’ rights 2. I’d like to see the outcome of this experiment (and prefer it to be confined to Colorado only). I think it will show the degradation in culture, economics, crime, and quality of life that you get with widespread drug use. I think they will have short term gains in economy due to drug tourism, but in the long run, it will be a negative drag on the state as more and more slackers go on the dole.
Thanks for posting.
The Clarence Thomas box is not the only objectionable box on the chart.
