AP US History Text:White, Christian Americans Finding It ‘Difficult to Adjust’ to Becoming Minority
breitbart ^ | DR. SUSAN BERRY

Posted on 04/14/2018 3:33:35 PM PDT by davikkm

A soon-to-be-released updated edition of an Advanced Placement (AP) U.S. History textbook teaches students that white Christian Americans are finding it “difficult to adjust” to becoming a minority and puts forward the perception that President Donald Trump’s election occurred because his apparent “racism connected with a significant number of primary voters.”

James Fraser’s By the People: A History of the United States, 2ndEdition, is published by Pearson and has a 2019 copyright date.

Alex Clark – co-host of the Indiana-based morning radio Joe and Alex Show– tweeted photos of the cover and several pages of the book that she reports were sent to her by a friend in Minnesota.

“In case you didn’t think there was an effort going on in public schools to indoctrinate kids with an anti-conservative agenda, a friend of mine took pictures and highlighted parts of this AP US History book,” she wrote. “She says, ‘This was the new ‘sample’ AP US HISTORY book sent to my school. The chapter mentions Bengazi [sic] (no ACTUAL details what happened) and mentions her ‘private email server.’”

The book pages that were photographed included a paragraph that describes Trump’s cabinet as wealthy, and “largely white males, more so than any presidential cabinet since Ronald Reagan.”

Whites and Christians were the primary groups which founded the institutions and culture which made this country so great that everyone wants to come here. Why would we want to throw them under the bus and change for some risky Third World culture?

That’s because mass media is so cruel in their war on Christianity.

I attended public schools and never saw this garbage. I didn’t have it in college either as I had the most conservative of conservatives as my US history professor. One of my daughters had AP US history, and I did not come across anything like this in her text, but I did not go through the whole text. The teachers around here are mostly very conservative in the public schools. But they do use the materials recommended by the AP folks. Maybe they will reject this text.

My oldest sons attended a public high school elsewhere. Lets just say that their US history teachers (not AP) were flaming in more ways than one. They had different teachers, and after a semester, I removed them from the classes. They were one year apart. There were not a lot of conservative teachers at that school. My oldest son found the best of them, and he learned a lot from them. My second son was a rebel. He still is. He was not well loved by his liberal teachers. We moved before his senior year, and he attended a private Christian school. That was such a blessing for him. Our teachers at our public schools now are almost all attached to the military in some way whether they are spouses of military folks or retired from the military.

It’s all in the process of America become the second beast of Revelations. Everything that happens from herein is going to reflect that.

“This whole discussion of race is stupid as the day is long
There is no white
There is no black
There is no brown
There is only people. Individuals. Good bad everything in between
Every color in between night and day.”

———————————

Only some of the discussion is stupid.

There is white.

There is black.

There is brown.

There are all sorts of people. Like people belong to groups. Some good, some bad.

The color between night and day tends to the reds and oranges.

Individualism does not fit their collective progressive narrative.

They are attacking every aspect of the foundation on our Constitution.

My kidlets went to public school about 10 years ago. Things weren’t too bad back then.

I knew their Government teacher and he was a Constitutionalist and they got home schooled in U.S History. Rand and Orwell were on the required “if you want me to pay for your college” list.

IIRC Pearson is the company that makes all of the tests mandated by Common Core. You must buy them from Pearson and they are not cheap. They are also leftist. Candidate Trump spoke out against Common Core. Has he done anything about it yet?

I am tired of being in a store and hearing the vast majority of shoppers speaking other languages, I don’t care what color they are.

Americans should not be a minority in our own country but this is obviously the plan. And we’re supposed to enjoy it too.

There are no races, only one — the human race under a Creator. The repeat focus on “race’ is a downloaded syphilis that warps a mindset. Biologically, we’re talking .01% difference — trivial nonsense. The issue is cultural. Since the time of Peleg, the people became divided.

My brother also sent his kids/my nephs/nieces to a private Christian academy. All my brothers and sisters were the same. My parents were not the richest but they busted their rears to make sure we didnt go public. It became like a family tradition LOL.

But unlike today, we wore a necktie and coat and this was during the 90’s. The best thing I guess about it was that the other public school girls in the district knew who we were and it was not even a problem to ask them out for dates haha must be the uniform

don’t hold your breath. The people of color (which is colored people reversed) have absolutely no intention of providing white minorities all the advantages they received as people of color minorities. POC are already half-serious about wytpepo giving up their jobs, homes and wealth to them. Remember LaMencha: For us, everything, for them, nothing? Works in South Africa, too.

No - we’re upset that the minorities are abandoning hard fought and learned principles of human thought, liberty and civilization and tossing them aside to assuage their obvious and blatantly racist views.

The “people of color” that will be running things will be the Asians,including Indians,of course-———we should stand a chance with them.

The whiners and complainers of today will not be in charge.

“...and change for some risky Third World culture?”

Libtards don’t want to change to some risky third world culture. They want a mixture of National Socialism and Communism, IOW totalitarianism. This has never been historically successful but they think it is because THEY haven’t been in charge yet. Arrogance mixed with stupidity is a dangerous combination.

Our second son went one year to private Christian school, and he had to wear the ugliest pants, necktie, and coat. From a distance, the pants weren’t so bad. lol.

I had wonderful, Christian teachers in public schools many moons ago. Black and white. A bunch of them migrated to private schools over the years. I did have a very liberal teacher, but he was not very good at indoctrinating students into lunacy. He had a crush on one of his students and would have acted on it if he could have gotten away with it.

I haven’t quite figured it all out. I was thinking that the plan was to change us to a Muslim-like culture since the UN was distributing refugees throughout Europe and into the U.S.

The thesis is predicated on abject ignorance of Christianity. EVERY Christian knows with absolute certainty he or she is a minority. The Bible makes this explicit. It is fundamental to Jesus’ teachings. This is political gibberish from leftist dogma and has no bearing on reality.
