You have presented an excellent description of a textbook that is being used to indoctrinate our children. My own son is a senior in a public high school, and is required to spend time reading Newsweak and Time in one of his classes. This is the only real news most of his classmates receive. He has gotten into some heated debates with some of the other kids regarding the "facts" and has used Free Republic to back up his arguments.
So, my advice to any and all parents is start re-educating them young, which I am sure you (and most other Freepers) have already done. I just wish some of my relatives would get wise to the public (and some private) schools. The forces of leftist mis-education are strong, and must be confronted directly, before they destroy this great country.
The foundation of 9 years of homeschooling is what caused my daughter to bring in her notes on this and start asking questions. She knew something was wrong with it but hadn't yet developed the knowledge to argue against each offensive point. This is a high-school level textbook being used in the 8th grade. Even when I was in college, I doubt I could have come up with a defense against the offensive statements, especially against an outspoken atheist teacher who has a Doctorate.
LOL. An unfair fight.
