News on Islam-biased Texts from CITIZENS FOR NATIONAL SECURITY

As a result of CFNS efforts - and for the first time as far as anyone related to these K-12 textbook issues knows - a major publisher, Pearson Prentice Hall, had to correct the content of an already printed flawed textbook that it intended to sell to a huge school district in Florida, and reprint it, before it could be purchased. CFNS fought hard for the corrections, and they accepted them! The new 2013 high-school history book, “World History,” was slated for delivery to Palm Beach County (PBC) students for use at the beginning of the current school year. After documenting its pro-Muslim slant many months earlier, CFNS participated in a marathon meeting with PBC curriculum specialists and a Pearson representative to delineate our concerns and recommend corrections. Following that, I personally testified about the book’s bias before the PBC School Board. After further review, the Board concurred with the CFNS position, and determined that much of the textbook’s contentious language be revised, consistent with CFNS’s recommendations, as a condition for purchase. Because the textbook had to be reprinted, students didn’t have a world history text until well into last fall. Clearly, their wait to get one with correct information was worth it! Palm Beach County is the 11th largest school district in the country. Getting the agenda-driven content removed was undoubtedly a huge win. Of even greater significance, however, is the precedent that CFNS has now established for others in Florida, and nationwide, for dealing with these tainted textbooks. As you may recall, CFNS had previously spearheaded the rejection of another egregious textbook in PBC, “World History: Patterns of Interaction,” published by Houghton-Mifflin. And we were a major player in correcting the content of a similarly flawed McGraw-Hill geography textbook, “World Geography and Cultures,” intended for the district. We are proud to be our country’s leader in the struggle to rid K-12 public-school classrooms of Islam-biased textbooks - and getting unequaled results. But it’s going to be a long, uphill battle, and we can’t stay in it without financial support. If you like what we are doing and accomplishing, please consider joining our organization with a tax-deductible donation so that we may continue the fight. You have my word that every penny of it - free of overhead costs - will go directly to the textbook effort. Yours for a terror-free and secure America, Dr. William A.
