From Logan's Warning
Approximately an hour ago I posted about the Hartford Common Council dropping Islamic prayers from the Monday meeting,
after being pressured by non-Muslims. Now in Texas we see of another example of
America turning against Islam. This time it is in the classrooms, which is obviously great news for our side.
Texas education board to consider rule on Islam’s portrayal in textbooks
By TERRENCE STUTZ
AUSTIN – Just when it appeared the State Board of Education was done with the culture wars, the panel is about to wade into the issue of what students should learn about Islam.
The board will consider a resolution next week that would warn publishers not to push a pro-Islamic, anti-Christian viewpoint in world history textbooks.
Members of the board’s social conservative bloc asked for the resolution after an unsuccessful candidate for a board seat called on the panel to head off any bias against Christians in new social studies books. Some contend that “Middle Easterners” are increasingly buying into companies that publish textbooks.
A preliminary draft of the resolution states that “diverse reviewers have repeatedly documented gross pro-Islamic, anti-Christian distortions in social studies texts” across the U.S. and that past social studies textbooks in Texas also have been “tainted” with pro-Islamic, anti-Christian views.
The resolution cites examples in past world history books – no longer used in Texas schools – that devoted far more lines of text to Islamic beliefs and practices than to Christian beliefs and practices.
In addition, the measure cites some books that dwelled on the Christian Crusaders massacre of Muslims in Jerusalem in 1099, while censoring Muslim massacres of Christians there in 1244 and at Antioch in 1268 – “implying that Christian brutality and Muslim loss of life are significant, but Islamic cruelty and Christian deaths are not.”
SNIP
The resolution states that pro-Islamic, anti-Christian half-truths, selective disinformation and false editorial stereotypes “still roil” some social studies textbooks nationwide, including “sanitized definitions of ‘jihad’ that exclude religious intolerance or military aggression against non-Muslims … which undergirds worldwide Muslim terrorism.”

Pastorius,
This is good news. I Don't support all the changes the State of Texas tried to make to its curriculum recently, and neither should you, but if this is what it sounds like it is, we should support them here.
Pastorius-now we have to work on the imbalance of islam over Chritianity7 in CA schools--that imbalance has been going on - in earnest - since the 'sensitivity' move after 9 11 2001

Christian Soldier,
Well I think we maybe getting less 'sensitive' now.
The educational system has been quietly though thoroughly infiltrated by Muslims and their dhimmi butt-kissers to an extent that can't be appreciated until you join up the seemingly disconnected dots... http://crombouke.blogspot.com/2010/01/islamic-infiltration-and-subversion-of.html
CS and Damien,
My Junior High age daughter has a history textbook which is about 30-40% dedicated to Islam, and it's all a whitewash, every bit of it.
It's astounding to read.
are you kidding me pastorius?????
its positively alarming to here these things, and to look around and see many americans only bearly waking to the rising threat.
there was a corny sci fi movie from the 80's with a pro wrestler as the lead (rowdy roddy piper) where if you put on a pair of special sunglasses you could see all the alien overlords living among us as our betters, in positions of power, when you took of the glasses they looked normal.
the struggle was that allmost no one else saw the truth or wanted to put on the glasses and really see.
corny I know but sometimes being an anti jihaadi feels like that to me.
It might sound corny, but it is true.
I showed my daughter this post, and asked her what she thought. She said, "People lie about Islam because they we have Muslim students at the schools, and they don't want them to feel bad."
My Junior High age daughter knows better than our leaders.
Pastorius,
Their feelings are irrelevant. The truth is the truth. Not being willing to tell the truth because feeling might be hurt when it comes to history or science, is not a good thing. Besides I wouldn't want or expect our teachers to turn around and start giving straight propaganda for our side, and ignoring anything that contradicts anything we say.
