Anti-Israel Curricula Used in World History Courses Across the Country

Good. It needs to be the standard.

Indoctrinating Our Youth: How a U.S. Public School Curriculum Skews the Arab-Israeli Conflict and Islam

Toward Israel, yeah.

he described a speaker as giving an "anti-Israel rant" to 150 students.

So what?

[rest of the article]

That's the worst fucking article I have EVER read. It said nothing about what actually happened. It tiptoed around all the positions being held.

It said nothing about what actually happened.

I thought the same thing until I got to this part.

The materials included the Arab World Studies Notebook, a textbook the American Jewish Committee has previously condemned as filled with "factually inaccuracies," "overt bias," and "unabashed propagandizing"; a timeline of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict that almost entirely omitted instances of Palestinian terrorism; and a misrepresentative translation of the Hamas charter.

Sure the article itself if biased, and it is the authors opinion that this material is not accurate. And certainly they don't prove that this material is inaccurate, or support their argument that terrorist activities justify Israeli aggression. But there it is, buried under a lot of exposition and dramatization.

It is a very manipulative article; something the Jews are really good at. So it worries me that the schools will bend to the pressure even though the arguments are very poor.

…certainly they don’t prove that this material is inaccurate, or support their argument that terrorist activities justify Israeli aggression. But there it is…

A very succinct summary.
