This is just crazy. It’s not that hard to get a textbook that is balanced. It’s just blatant disregard for the truth. Home schooling has got to be the way to go. Seeing this stuff just makes me want to go back to it.

A new Pearson-published advanced placement (AP) history textbook displaying some overt anti-Trump and anti-conservative bias is just more confirmation that the public school system is becoming increasingly geared towards indoctrinating our children with liberal ideology.

Co-host of the Indianapolis-based Joe and Alex Show. "Alex on Air," uncovered new language from the high school AP textbook "By The People" that plainly suggests President Donald Trump is mentally ill and his supporters are racists.


As reported by The Blaze, one passage of the textbook insinuates that Trump voters were largely white people who felt racial anxiety and animosity over the browning of America.

"Trump’s supporters saw the vote as a victory for the people who, like themselves, had been forgotten in a fast-changing America–a mostly older, often rural or suburban, and overwhelmingly white group. Clinton’s supporters feared that the election had been determined by people who were afraid of a rapidly developing ethnic diversity of the country, discomfort with their candidate’s gender, and nostalgia for an earlier time in the nation’s history," says the text.

And, for good measure, the text highlights Trump's "mental instability." Clinton voters "also worried about the mental instability of the president-elect and the anger that he and his supporters brought to the nation," it reads.

"By The People" by James W. Fraser goes on to claim Trump's administration is comprised of "largely white males, more so than any presidential cabinet since Ronald Reagan."

"Those who had long thought of the nation as a white and Christian country sometimes found it difficult to adjust" to the election of President Barack Obama, the book states.

The text also addresses the racial tension from Ferguson, Missouri in 2014 after the death of Michael Brown; The Blaze reports: "'The nearly all-white police force was seen as an occupying army in the mostly African American town,' the book states, adding, '…police increased the tensions, defacing memorials set up for Brown and using rubber bullets on demonstrators.'"

In recent years, public school literature has included censorship, troubling takes on allegedly inherent white racism and privilege, and the liberal concept of sexuality and gender, which is defined as detached from biology and on a "spectrum."
