New AP U.S. History Textbook Implies Christians are Bigots, Reagan a Racist

This appears to be a forthcoming 2019 edition of an existing textbook from the global education publishing giant Pearson, whose materials are ubiquitous. The friend highlighted some sections that show clear bias against political conservatives, President Trump and his administration, and Americans of faith. Here are some transcriptions from those images.

In describing the rise of Black Lives Matter in the aftermath of the Ferguson, Missouri shooting: “The nearly all-white police force was seen as an occupying army in the mostly African-American town.” In a section discussing President Trump’s cabinet, the book says “They were largely white males, more so than any cabinet since Ronald Reagan.” In a discussion of the nation’s politics after 2012, it says “Those who had long thought of the nation as a white and Christian country sometimes found it difficult to adjust” to secularization and an increase in people of other races. Elsewhere, it describes Trump’s “not-very-hidden racism.”

Part of our problem may be that Christendom itself has become lazy — and weak. From a Spirit filled endeavor it backslid into mere mortal moralism.

Challenges like this should be treated as a warning sign.

Exactly!

Anything since 2000 is not ‘history’ but rather political brainwashing.

When did history books start giving opinions?!?!

I know some folks here think it’s young, but i’m kinda glad i’m turning 51.

In 30 years this country won’t be recognizable.

It’s not recognizable from 30 years ago.

Believers, too, have reason to hear from the evangelist — as a reminder of why they believed. Because the enemy will do everything God allows him to in order to raise a fog of unbelief.

No it’s not.

Growing up while Reagan was president was very cool.

Written History is nothing more than a viewpoint by the authors. It is subject to change over each decade or more by other views after the undiscovered facts (previously hidden and censored) come into play. Today’s written history may become fiction in a couple of generations.

The writers’ use of the passive voice is heinous.

It would be fine to say that the inner city ghetto dwellers of color viewed police forces as such-and-such. That allows room for an account of other citizens viewing them differently.

But to raise this point would be to get screamed at for “oh, aren’t you sympathetic to these poor poor people”?

George Orwell warned us:

Beyond school-by-school rejection, how can this be stopped nationally?

This is a scandal.

If the parties were reversed, the Democrats would end this pronto.

Who is allowing these propaganda materials to continue to be sent to our public schools?

Where is Betsy DeVoss???

Someone needs to tweet this to her and copy POTUS.

One book said (maybe this same one) that President Trump was racist as were his supporters.

After going back to college, I can attest that both Pearson and Cengage have mastered the art of making oversized, overpriced, and mediocre textbooks.
