Social Studies textbooks

Here is a post (and news release & documents) about an apparently well-organized group going after social studies textbooks. Take a look at the list of inaccuracies they’ve made (see links at the bottom of the linked post). These folks really got down into the details, didn’t they?

Patriots United, a Tea Party organization, headed by Sheri Krass, a retired Secondary Math teacher, has created the Florida Textbook Action Team (TAT). County TAT’s have been formed throughout the State.

Citizens for National Security (CFNS) spent over 14 months researching all Social Studies textbooks approved by the Florida Department of Education (FDOE). They identified over 200 excerpts that have pro-Islam/anti-Jewish/Christian/Israel bias.

Although the CFNS research was focused on Islamic inaccuracies, the TAT is also concerned about incorrect information our children are learning about our history, government, and constitution.
