Call it perceived, apparent, suspected, or any of a bunch of other hedging words, but stating it like fact is irresponsible

 A majority of mental health professionals would likely disagree with you.

Rather than just "calling it" anything, the authors could (or perhaps they did) simply state some of Trump's relevant behaviors--leaving out those which should be censored in a high school text. 

No one should be seeing this as a problem with the publisher, though.  How do your represent this president--the premiere US role model--to HS kids? 

A picture that satisfied the right wing press would require tons of spin and selective amnesia, with Clinton whatatboutism for balance.
Any book that does not satisfy that impossible demand will be "biased." So those offended by/fearful of the facts run to home school for alternative facts.

(And let's be fair here. REAL conservatives do not support Trump. They see the long term as well as the short term effects of keeping him in authority.)
