Anti Trump/Conservative bias in public school textbook
#15
Couple facts to add here:
  • This is one passage in an update to include the 2016 election...it's 2018 already.
  • The book is not in schools...yet.  The publishers are trying to get it sold.
  • The publishers are a British owned company...although it as edited by a NYU Professor.

I'm not sure the book has any facts wrong, but apparently it triggered a handful of conservatives after a student saw a copy...and apparently had time to read the specific passages and highlight them.   Smirk (pics at the link)

Quote:Tarra Snyder, a student at Rosemount High School in Minnesota, who saw a copy of the book sent to her school, told Fox News she was “appalled” after seeing how “blatantly biased” the newest edition of “By the People: A History of the United States” was toward Trump and his voters. She said it also glossed over all issues then-Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton faced during her campaign.  

“There are specific parts where it goes off the rails from a historical textbook toward an op-ed,” Snyder told Fox News.
