Okay, watchdogs. You have a homework assignment. We're working on a story regarding history textbooks used in Missouri. Sometime during the next two weeks, call your district's office and ask the name of all textbooks it is using for US History and World History courses. Be sure to get the edition and publication date of each text.
We have discovered an objectionable textbook currently used in several St. Louis metro area school districts. We are under the initial impression the textbook contains severe distortions of historical fact in favor of political/religious correctness. We are compiling our facts and would appreciate your help in compiling a list of books used in Missouri.
To get you started, here is a list of 28 objectionable books compiled by Dr. Dennis Ybarra of The Jewish and Research, San Francisco:

Dr Ybarra's group is not for profit, and addresses "anti-Semitism and anti-Israelism" in American education from K-12 to higher levels. Research and drop us a line if your district uses one of these 28 books on the list. We would like to know the books used in your district even if they do not appear on this list.
Read what your children are learning. You want your child to learn historical fact, NOT political distortion.
