Introduction Imagine that one afternoon you ask your child or grandchild who is in 7th grade, ―What did you learn in school today?‖ Much to your surprise they answer, ―I learned about the African exodus to America after our country was founded.‖ ―African exodus to America?‖ you ask. ―I never heard it called that before.‖ ―Yes, it‘s all here in my textbook. My teacher says that earlier explanations of how Africans came to the new world as ―slaves‖ were written by uninformed, America-hating authors who have been discredited.‖ You open her brand-new textbook to the chapter on ―The African Exodus to America‖ and with growing disbelief start to read… * * * During the 17th through early 19th centuries Western Africa was wracked by famines, intertribal warfare, and epidemics. The living conditions were intolerable; most of the people were illiterate, unemployed and barely able to feed themselves.

Depends upon who is teaching it.
If a true historian teaches it objectively, it’s History.
If a non-historian teaches it without objectivity, it runs the risk of becoming nothing more than incoherent propaganda.
The bit about slavery looks like it was written by racist intolerant plantation owners..... Nope just the people who rounded them up in the first place trying CYA themselves in history.
Smells like Saudi money stinking up the place.
My reading of this report shows to me that the "quoted" textbook extract is not real. It has not been published in any American school text book. It is instead an example of argument reduction ad absurdum to give a more understandable analogy about the distortion of history that ARE being included in our public school history textbooks by propagandist Islam.

Wth? Sorry all.
Thanks Swordmaker.
Because Greeks and Armenians are an important demographic block in certain states such pro Islamic work won’t be accepted in classrooms. I would add Jews to the mix but the Jews like to cuddle up to Muslims from some insane leftist desire to be liked by them.
