History was my least favorite subject in school. I thought it was boring. I can’t understand or justify my stupidity, in hindsight, but I just remember being overwhelmed by dates and battles and failing to see the incredible way that history tends to repeat itself.
This week, a group of Floridian parents are flipping out at the contents of their teenagers’ Prentice Hall World History textbooks. The accusations they are raising are not some silly, baseless hysterical claims. They are completely legit and completely horrifying.
Before I tell you what is happening, I want to clarify that the reason this story horrifies me is not because of the bias that the book shows, but because of the way it has rewritten history and left out parts of the past.
If you look inside this book, being taught in high schools all over the country, you’ll notice several alarming things, as pointed out by Mr. Todd Starnes on this news program. There are 36 pages dedicated to the religion of Islam, while there are NO chapters dedicated to Christianity or Judaism.- In reference to Mohammed and his armies taking over Medina States, the book says, “…people happily accepted Islam as their way of life.”-The book indicates that Jesus “proclaimed” Himself to be the Messiah, yet stated as fact that Mohammed was a prophet.-In the book, Christian battles are called “Massacres” while Muslim battles are called “takeovers.” More
