Saudi-funded textbooks being used in America's K-12 public school classrooms
Topics: Political News and commentaries(Via Jihad Watch):Teaching, among other things, that Jesus was a "Palestinian," the
state of Israel never existed, and that the Muslims discovered America
before Columbus. If continued at the present rate, even Saudi grade-school
textbooks -- complete with jihadi and dhimmi declarations -- will come to instruct American school-children. The CBN link has complete video report."Public Schools Teach the ABCs of Islam," by Erick Stakelbeck for CBN News.
Here's an excerpt:
[...] did you know that Muslims discovered America? Or that Jerusalem is an Arab city? That's just some of the "history" that students in America's K-12 classrooms have been taught in recent years--with the help of taxpayer money.
A new report by the non-profit Institute for Jewish and Community Research finds that American high school and elementary textbooks contain countless inaccuracies about Christianity, Judaism, Israel and the Middle East.
The Institute examined 28 of the most widely-used history, geography and social studies textbooks in America. It found at least 500 errors.
One book ignored the Jewish roots of Christianity, saying the faith was founded by a "young Palestinian" named Jesus.
Another stated as fact that the Koran was revealed to Mohammed from God.
Yet another said ancient Jewish civilization contributed "very little" to to the arts and sciences.
Textbooks like these are used by millions of schoolchildren in all 50 states. Sandra Stotsky--now an endowed chair at the University of Arkansas--has seen some of them firsthand.
