It's not, though. What is stated in there were major concerns during the election cycle. The writer isn't saying Trump is unstable or that his supporters are whatever Clinton's supporters believed them to be.
You're getting whipped up by sensationalist media.

But if this is even true it might be the first time in a long time Conservatives were concerned about how items were worded in a textbook because it made conservatives look bad.
Sure it does. The 2016 election cycle was highly contentious and the public mood and opinions are a part of that.
But no, it won't be the first time. Conservatives notoriously make moves to have textbooks edited to make them feel better about their shitty policies.
