Obama Pushed on Our Kids in Grade School Lit Textbook

Over at RealDebateWisconsin Fred Dooley was contacted by the mother of a Racine Unified School District 8th grade student in Wisconsin public schools about an outrageous thing she found in her son’s school textbook. Apparently, in this textbook supposedly teaching about literature, one of the books being pushed as a perfect example of that subject is Barack Obama’s memoir Dreams from my Father.

He's better lose.

Imagine if he gets to be President. As much as i strongly DISLIKE the compromiser, McPain, I'll be voting for him.

(It’s the deatured online book in the lower left cornor. You will have to create a un/pw to look at the garbage.)

I hope you will take the time to look at this book. I’m really angry about this - In fact, I would love to rip the pages right out of this book.

By the way, you might find this interesting: I did a little checking on McDougal Littell, and it appears that MCDOUGAL, ALFRED L CHICAGO , IL 60611 - N/A/RETIRED has been making contributions to Barack Obama’s campaign!

I found that information on this website.
