History Books In U.S. Public Schools Promoting Islam

Topics: Dhimmitude

When you send your child to public schools, the last thing you expect them to be taught is Islam. However, that's exactly what's happening in schools across the America.

According to a new report by the American Textbook Council, an independent organization that researches and reviews textbooks, history textbooks being used by hundreds of thousands of public school students across the U.S. are blatantly promoting Islam...

The new report is from the American Textbook Council, which was established in 1989 as an independent national research organization to review social studies textbooks and advance the quality of instructional materials in history.

In the two-year project, whose report was authored by Gilbert T. Sewall, the ATC reviewed five junior and five high school world and American history texts, concluding:

"Many political and religious groups try to use the textbook process to their advantage, but the deficiencies in Islam-related lessons are uniquely disturbing. History textbooks present an incomplete and confected view of Islam that misrepresents its foundations and challenges to international security."

The report finds that the texts present "disputed definitions and claims [regarding Islam] ... as established facts."

"Islamic activists use multiculturalism and ready-made American-made political movements, especially those on campus, to advance and justify the makeover of Islam-related textbook content," the report continued.

"Particular fault rests with the publishing corporations, boards of directors, and executives who decide what editorial policies their companies will pursue," the report said.
