High School Student Raises Questions About Textbook Bias

I would bet that it wasn't the student's idea. It was most likely the idea of a NEA teacher, or a liberal teacher, or a liberal parent. More credibility would be given to the questions regarding the book's or author's "bias" if if was a student making the charge.

Possibly. But the last few lines of the article make it sound like this kid is a real pot-stirrer.

Believe me, there are more than a few demwitted students. One came in my classroom during the last election proclaiming Kerry should be president. I made him prove to the class Kerry’s qualifications for the job. Needless to say, he left at the end of the hour with a bit more knowlege. A couple weeks ago, same student met me in the hall and said while he wasn’t on the GOP bandwagon, he was at least a conservative Independent and considered McCain the less evil of the bunch. Not too bad, if I might say so myself.
