American Civil Liberties Union:
Stop extremist takeover of textbooks
I agree with anyone saying that textbooks are a tool and not an all encompassing manual for a classroom teacher. But, when textbooks in the USA are riddled like an old coffee can after target practice at your Uncle Nelson's farm, it's time to reload and reposition.
I also agree, that ACLU was pretty lame during the Bush Administration and to an extent, still is. However, very capable men and women are successfully pressing the ACLU to oppose, "new ideologically-tainted standards for Texas' public school textbooks." ACLU.org
Let us be effective in this principled cause, this honorable, ageless cause for the right of children to learn the entire story of history.
As that old 1960's song by Brotherhood of Man says, "For united we stand, divided we fall. And if our backs are ever up against the wall, we'll be together you and I".
