The booklet apparently is used as a counterbalance to the works of Harriet Beecher Stowe and others that are also part of the curiculum.

For an encore, they can have the students read Nazi propaganda as a "counterbalance" to the Federalist Papers, and follow it up by a study of DU rantings as a "counterbalance" to the news reports.

Where do these people come from?

One thing most posters on this thread have failed to note is our information is limited to what the reporter and the editor of this newspaper have published. Sure quotes are given but look throughout this thread and you will see people quoted with a motive assigned by a distractor. Without seeing the material we are limited in what we can infer, unless you have 100% confidence in the pure motives of the News and Observer. I do not. There are "Christian" schools that have very racist POV but then so do many "Liberal" groups. Consider any number of hard left and white union members (calm down everyone who is in a union but "has" to be, I am making a point not a generalization). How many longshoremen has a favorite drinking buddy who is black? but let him get pissed off and it is the "N" word from here to hades.

It has been pointed out on this thread before, slavery was not gas ovens. Bad enough but to equate the two undermines your credibility.
