Come on... But they are out there. and the books have been sent to the schools Tarra Snyder, a student at Rosemount High School in Minnesota, who saw a copy of the book sent to her school, told Fox News she was “appalled” after seeing how “blatantly biased” the newest edition of “By the People: A History of the United States” was toward Trump and his voters. She said it also glossed over all issues then-Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton faced during her campaign. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She saw a copy that was sent to the school, it was not distributed to students. Those typically go the department heads, they review then decide on a textbook, if any to buy in bulk. kids aren't going to get new editions this late in the year, the review is for next school year. If the school goes ahead and buys them that's a different story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It straight history. Seems to me this is a simple case of Trumpets not wanting to admit what they voted for. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HawgGoneIt Posted April 17, 2018 Report Share Posted April 17, 2018 Simple case of far right reporting from FOX. Using key trigger words to get HSFBfan to flip his lid and not actually read the story's entirety. It work(s)(ed). I can hardly wait on the Alex Jones version. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it's real history. I for one am happy they are at least attempting to fix the old text books. You know like Colombus discovered America and thanksgiving was all about willing natives being welcomed by the pilgrims. Stuff like that.
