New: As battles rage over how public schools should teach race, I looked at what's currently being taught in thousands of private schools
One textbook refers to immigrants only as "aliens." Another describes civil rights activists as "black supremacists" theguardian.com/education/2021…
One textbook notes that the “end of slavery in this country was a legitimate goal
... but much was done in the name of abolition that was as evil as the institution of slavery itself” 🤔 theguardian.com/education/2021…

NEW: Textbooks in thousands of K-12 schools echo the white Christian nationalism from last week's riots.
They teach that "globalists" are anti-Christian, Obama helped spur "race riots," and that Trump is the country's "fighter" for Christian values

I reviewed new textbooks from popular Evangelical publishers to see how they discuss Trump. They blame globalists, environmentalists and "multiculturalists" for America's decline.
Here's more context: Many of these schools now receive public funding through vouchers. Their textbooks call slavery "black immigration," say Satan hatched the idea of "psychology" huffingtonpost.com/entry/school-v…
I created a database of every voucher school in the country. I found AT LEAST 33% of schools use these extremist curriculums.
They teach kids to see other religions as evil, women as lesser. Textbooks call civil rights activists "black supremacists" huffingtonpost.com/entry/school-v…
