Did a search and couldn't find it already posted. Everybody needs to watch this.

It shows how Islamists is getting our textbooks changed to suit them.

Please note Gregory Starrett and his comments and attitude about Fox News viewers.

Looks like Fox smells blood in the water. They’ve found the backbone they had prior to their Obama-worshiping period during the election.

Maybe they’ll give Beck a raise while they’re at it.

Personally, I'm ticked. The whole "Trouble with Textbooks" segments started with my book, "48 Liberal Lies About American History," released last September. I was on Fox and Friends once, then they started having me on for a regular weekly series where I exposed textbook lies everywhere. This ran for almost five months, sometimes I did two segments a week.

Now the "documentary division" in Washington has this pipsqueak Tucker Carlson steal my segment, and, I assume, will use a lot of my research, but I wasn't interviewed for this. I just think it's not kosher at all.

“Did a search and couldn’t find it already posted.

Agreed.

But the show left me scratching my head and saying
“What took FOX so long?”

Heck, when I was in Los Angeles during 1995-2005, there was all sort
of commentary on shows hosted by Dennis Prager, Michael Medved,
even the Duffy show on 99.5FM, the major Christian-talk station.

Nice to see Tucker did have Diane Ravitch on to give some commentary.
She’s been fighting the good fight for decades.

For a real eye-opener, sit down and watch the Saturday Morning Cartoons with your kids — it ain’t the “Bugs Bunny” and “Mighty Mouse” we grew up with....

If you can keep from going into diabetic shock from the general sacharine overload, you’ll be amazed at the level of anti-business, anti-American, and anti-PARENT, leftist propaganda your kids are being fed between the commercials....

It’s about damn time. I don’t trust government schools to teach any subject well, not math, not science, and certainly not “social studies.” The textbooks are highly suspect, but how many parents read them?

It’s a poorly produced and haphazard selection of “facts.” A total dump of b-roll footage under the headline of investigative journalism.

There’s a bit where kids weigh their backpacks for no apparent reason and then it immediately veers to “scary Saudi Muslim school in the United States” before admitting that offending no one helps the companies involved sell more books.

More an ills of mass marketing piece than an educational bias expose.

Watched it last night and I want my hour back.

If you really care about your kids education you will make the sacrifices necessary to put them in Catholic school.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

What about Marxist and communist influences in the textbooks?

Marxism is our nation's **most** urgent and serious threat. Schools are the Marxists’ most powerful and important weapon.

This was news 30 years ago when Turner started buying up our kids textbook publishers....pretty much creeping commie filth ever since. Good to see it introduced to this generation tho’ (at least for the few in this generation that watches Fox news). Also good to see liberal heads explode anytime!

I seem to be suffering from a bit of “cranial constipation” this morning (no coffee yet). Where is the link to the video on the Fox page?

This was an excellent expose, but it really could have had a whole show in each of the segments. I guess it would have been difficult to make it interesting, though. I would sure like to see more examples of the “new history”. That was the first that I had heard about the two Thanksgivings. Can you imagine if your kid came home and told you that the first Thanksgiving was in April, not November? You wouldn’t know what he was talking about.

This was a great piece of journalism. Many people have no idea how bad our socialized schools are.

We need to do away with government schools and return to a capitalist schooling system.

Nope. I just know that Darwin was right about everything, Christians are rightwing extremists, and it's OK to be gay...

I never liked Tucker. He comes across as a fake Republican. I think the guy is a Democrat pretending to be a Republican.

Personally, I have no respect for either party now. Most of the Democrats (more than 51%) are sell outs, and the Republicans are not much better.

I do respect people that are Conservative only or even first. People that are NOT afraid to do the right thing. Just my two cents.

This has been going on for years. Now is anyone going to actually confront the Saudis?

Back when school boards were the only ones who had to ok your kids’ textbooks, the choices were made closer to home. Then the states got involved; and the list of potential texts shrank and became more...er..."directed." THEN the feds got involved...

Get the feds and the states out of school decisions; and put it back in the hands of your local elected parents/friends.

I saw this and found it appalling. The NEA is ruining this country!
