Last spring, the NAS's review of common texts found that 70 percent of these books promote a liberal political cause or interpretation of events. Less than 2 percent promote a conservative sensibility, while none advocate conservative political causes.

In general, the topics covered are those beloved of the Academic Left: multiculturalism, racism, immigration, environmental issues, animal rights, food production and green politics, along with the Islamic world, women and poverty. Nearly one-third of the books had an African, African-American, Latino or East Asian theme, while only 1.7 percent had a European theme.

Note to the Minneapolis Star-Trib: There is no such word in English as "Latino" (sic). That's point one.

Two, your state is >90% white American. That means you 90% don't count. So shut up already. Your betters are speaking/talking about you.

Once students reach college age, they should be able to handle books with different points of view. In college, one of the books assigned in the classes I took was The Communist Manifesto, and I still have the book. We had to write a paper on it. Mine was critical of it, and my paper was given a high grade. Also, reading books about other countries or cultures can be beneficial.

But, there’s a problem when colleges only serve to advance a political ideology, with students being graded based on whether or not their opinions are in line with the ideology. Another objection I have is when porn is paraded as good literature.
