Dear Friends,

 

I have come across a web site which may be of interest to the parents of school going children in the USA. Please visit the site.
 

This is the link. http://www.textbook reviews.org/ index.html? content=tb_ rvws.htm

And there mission is reproduced bellow from there site.

Thanks

U

 

 

From the site's "Our Mission" page:

We are a conservative Christian organization that reviews public school textbooks submitted for adoption in Texas. Our reviews have national relevance because Texas state-adopts textbooks and buys so many that publishers write them to Texas standards and sell them across the country.

Our unique 46 years' experience gives us expertise equal to or beyond that of the education establishment itself in all phases of the public school textbook adoption process, and in that our standard review criteria spell out what public school textbooks often censor on certain topics.

Publishers market textbooks — and many teachers select them — based on convenience of their teaching aids. Unlike them, we review textbooks for academic content only. Parents, teachers, and school board members can all profitably use our materials.

   Subject areas of concern include:

• Scientific weaknesses in evolutionary theories
• Phonics-based reading instruction
• Principles and benefits of free enterprise
• Original intent of the U.S. Constitution
• Respect for Judeo-Christian morals
• Emphasis on abstinence in sex education
• Politically- correct degradation of academics

Sincerely,

U
