The brainwashing of America’s youth.

Part of our problem may be that Christendom itself has become lazy — and weak. From a Spirit filled endeavor it backslid into mere mortal moralism.

Challenges like this should be treated as a warning sign.

[A strike]

Exactly!

Anything since 2000 is not ‘history’ but rather political brainwashing.

[neverevergiveup]

F*** Pearson and it's UK-based politically correct stupidity.

When did history books start giving opinions?!?!

I know some folks here think it’s young, but i’m kinda glad i’m turning 51.

In 30 years this country won’t be recognizable.

In 30 years this country won’t be recognizable.

It’s not recognizable from 30 years ago.

Believers, too, have reason to hear from the evangelist — as a reminder of why they believed. Because the enemy will do everything God allows him to in order to raise a fog of unbelief.

[dp0622]

No it’s not.

Growing up while Reagan was president was very cool.

Written History is nothing more than a viewpoint by the authors. It is subject to change over each decade or more by other views after the undiscovered facts (previously hidden and censored) come into play. Today’s written history may become fiction in a couple of generations.

[HiTech RedNeck]

The writers’ use of the passive voice is heinous.

It would be fine to say that the inner city ghetto dwellers of color viewed police forces as such-and-such. That allows room for an account of other citizens viewing them differently.

But to raise this point would be to get screamed at for “oh, aren’t you sympathetic to these poor poor people”?

[dp0622]

Absolutely.

George Orwell warned us:

‘Who controls the past, controls the future: who controls the present controls the past’.

[Wally_Kalbacken]

Did they mention that Lincoln was gay?

[Reno89519]

Beyond school-by-school rejection, how can this be stopped nationally?

[UnwashedPeasant]

This is a scandal.

If the parties were reversed, the Democrats would end this pronto.

[mad_as_he$$]

WoW! As well as being a vampire hunter.

[Jane Long]

Who is allowing these propaganda materials to continue to be sent to our public schools?

Where is Betsy DeVoss???

Someone needs to tweet this to her and copy POTUS.

One book said (maybe this same one) that President Trump was racist as were his supporters.

After going back to college, I can attest that both Pearson and Cengage have mastered the art of making oversized, overpriced, and mediocre textbooks.

Germany was the template, its now being fully applied here.
