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.

I was wondering what happened to you—I expected you to be in these segments!

This was a damn good documentary. I think it aired 10PM ET last night. I didn’t see the whole thing, but caught the first 25-30 minutes.

Most of the first REALLY BAD, i.e., “diversity first,” massively indoctrinating textbooks were published the year I graduated from high school (1993).

It’s amazing how far we’ve fallen in just 15 years.

Tucker Carlson is the host, which kind of threw me for a loop. I thought he was with CNN or MSNBC.

Anyway, he did an excellent job of confronting a professor (Columbia U?) on the street who co-authored a textbook which claimed that up until mid-2002 (the year/time the textbook in question was published) only ONE PERSON had been charged with terrorism related to the 9/11 attacks.

In actuality, Carlson said the REAL number of people charged - at that time - was over 100.

So now a revised edition of the book is coming out later in the year, and all the author would say is basically “buy the new version and see if you agree with our revisions.”

Oh, and the new version is not $60 (as the first printing was), but closer to $75.

LOL.

I’m sorry. I don’t know anything about this. I think I’ll get your book, though.

I saw many of those segments. And yes, puzzled as to why they funnelled this off to Carlson.

Your book and appearances really shed light on the extent of how these textbooks are so biased.

While it sucks not getting credit where it is due, you have to be thankful your work is getting out and aired. If you hadn’t done the ground work this wouldn’t be happening, pat yourself on the back. Most of us have been where you are at right now, not nationally of course, but where we work(ed) and have had our thunder stolen. If it benefits the country then you will have accomplished what you wanted.That is what you wanted isn’t it, to help the country’s children and not for self gratification?
