Public school textbook with 72 pages on Islam for every 1 page on other religions?

08/01/13


Islamic bias well documented in 38 textbooks

Members of a Florida ACT! for America chapter, along with members of a Florida organization called Citizens for National Security, recently got the attention of elected officials and local school board members regarding the pro-Islamic bias in a Florida approved school textbook.

“This special treatment of Islam consists of devoting many more pages to Islam when compared to any other religion in an approximate ratio of 72 to one.” - State Representative Ritch Workman

“From what I’ve read and heard over the past few years about Islam contradicts what’s in these textbooks.” – Andy Ziegler, Brevard School Board Member.

How could any educator, administrator, school board member or parent in America justify devoting 72 pages about Islam for every one page about Christianity and Judaism in an America public school textbook?

In early 2012, ACT! for America Education released a 229 page report that revealed extensive bias, inaccuracies and pro-Islamic indoctrination in 38 public school textbooks. You can view the complete report and Executive Summary HERE.

Find out if your school’s textbooks are promoting Islam and denigrating Christianity, ancient Israel, and modern Israel. You might find textbooks saying Muslims discovered America, or stating religious doctrines of Islam as fact. Visit ACT For Education here.
