Report Takes Textbooks to Task

RALEIGH — A new report, Islam and the Textbooks, documents a quiet coup that has occurred in America’s history textbooks. Produced by the American Textbook Council, the report claims to detail a systematic “sanitizing” of Islamic history and practices. For example, although the destruction and mass murder at the World Trade Center was a ‘jihad,’ according to the perpetrators, American students might never see that word in connection with the terrorist killings.
