A soon-to-be-released updated edition of an Advanced Placement (AP) U.S. History textbook teaches students that white Christian Americans are finding it “difficult to adjust” to becoming a minority and puts forward the perception that President Donald Trump’s election occurred because his apparent “racism connected with a significant number of primary voters.”
James Fraser’s By the People: A History of the United States, 2ndEdition, is published by Pearson and has a 2019 copyright date.
Alex Clark – co-host of the Indiana-based morning radio Joe and Alex Show– tweeted photos of the cover and several pages of the book that she reports were sent to her by a friend in Minnesota.
“In case you didn’t think there was an effort going on in public schools to indoctrinate kids with an anti-conservative agenda, a friend of mine took pictures and highlighted parts of this AP US History book,” she wrote. “She says, ‘This was the new ‘sample’ AP US HISTORY book sent to my school."
The book pages that were photographed included a paragraph that describes Trump’s cabinet as wealthy, and “largely white males, more so than any presidential cabinet since Ronald Reagan.”
Fraser describes Trump’s supporters as “a mostly older, often rural or suburban, and overwhelmingly white group,” while Hillary Clinton’s supporters are portrayed as fearful “the election had been determined by people who were afraid of a rapidly developing ethnic diversity of the country, discomfort with their candidate’s gender, and nostalgia for an earlier time in the nation’s history.”
“They also worried about the mental stability of the president-elect and the anger that he and his supporters brought to the nation,” Fraser adds about Clinton voters.

As California becomes split up based on party lines and ideology, so goes the nation eventually. A house divided cannot stand. Like the former Soviet Union, this country will end up getting split up. I don't want to live in the liberal state of Maryland when this happens.
ReplyDeleteThey leave out the many Black Christians and Hispanic Christians...If all Christians unite as a voting block it would be the media's worst nightmare.
ReplyDeleteMust have been written by the Clinton Foundation.
ReplyDeleteA history book that doesn't contain actual history? Makes sense in 2018.
ReplyDeletePS-Couldn't possibly include a particular demographic never being able to assimilate to American culture, now could it? Just don't use statistics to point out what particular demographic I may be referring to, like the imprisoned, unemployed, illiterate, and more likely to harm their fellow man. We wouldn't want "those people" to feel any sort of way, now would we?
This is sad to think someone brakes the time to come up with this garbage and the morons who believe it. My faith carries above and beyond any fake news and reports you bozo's come up with to try and create division
ReplyDeleteWow, very accurate.
ReplyDeleteThis textbook will not be coming to a school near you, right?

ReplyDeleteSad isn't it!! That's what happens when you support open borders! Build the wall and build it now!

ReplyDeleteIs the Wall a "Christian" thing?
Or, is it simply a political topic?
There is nothing uniquely "Christian" about forbidding aliens from entering the worst Country on the planet.
If they don't know any better, let them join us in heavy taxation and worship of Israel.
You should leave if you truly feel that way.
DeleteWhen are we going to start getting the benefits that previous minorities have / are receiving.
ReplyDeleteSomebody is smoking crack if they think that we are a minority. We have the Faith, and we have the numbers needed to squash anything we need to squash. Be it within or without. Have a Blessed day!

ReplyDeleteLOVE your post!! So very true!
ReplyDeleteHadrian built a wall across Britain to keep out invaders. The Chinese did the same. Neither shared a border with Mexico so their motives weren't raycest. (Grammar police, rest easy)
4:01 How naive are you? Whites will be the minority in the US in the not so distant future. Google it. Y'all losing ground fast.

Yet Obama's cabinet was largely black people, and that wasn't called racist. It is what it is. Either both are racist, or neither are. What's the point? The duly elected presidents are allowed to pick their own cabinet. It's in the constitution. There is no racial requirement for cabinet picks, and it would be unconstitutional, if there was. Only a racist would object to a president's picks for cabinet, based on race.
