LS, BRAVO! I see you on F&F each week (this morning,in fact) and I think it’s a great thing you’re doing! Kudos to Steve, Brian and Gretchen for this segment. Our children are being indoctrinated from an early age....

Because of your discussions on F&F......
at a recent Republican Women’s Club meeting, a member of our County School Board spoke and, I tried, 3x, to ask ....is there a State or County agency that verifies the accuracy of textbooks. Unfortunately, she didn’t call on me. I will email her... although I’m pretty sure I know the answer to my question, but, perhaps a seed will be planted ....and someone may begin looking at what we’re ‘teaching’ our children.

I can answer your question. NO. There is no agency at any level that verifies accuracy, in part because so much of what I expose isn't factual error as error of slant or interpretation by including, or excluding certain info. For example, this morning, they said about the Patriot Act, "Critics said it infringed on civil rights." But they didn't say it was passed 98-1, with far lefties such as Clinton, Durbin, Daschle, and Kennedy voting for it.

Moreover, textbooks are selected (usually) at the local school board level, and they don't have the time or interest in fact checking.
