I seldom check links on other site any more. I’ve found a broad variety, which I present to anyone interested. The links I have are ones I check daily. Others I have bookmarked. Today, however, I took a look at the links Hugh Hewitt has on his site. And I found a very interesting one I’d not seen anywhere else.
The American Thinker caught my eye, and I just had to visit. What I found was very well-written thought. In particular, one yelled at me for attention, and I was forced to read it.
Your children may learn that Muslims discovered America is a title which can’t be passed by. The article details how textbooks are being edited with approval by The Middle East Policy Council. I’m sure they only have the best interests of our children at heart.
The article also links to a report by The American Textbook Council which is not complimentary.
If you have school-age children in our public schools (and perhaps even parochial schools) it would pay you to check your child’s history books and validate the information presented against an evening of internet research on the history of Islam, as well as any cultural information you may need. My “Terrorism Essentials” page has a couple of good research links along with a bibliography link in the columns.
They also have an accurate assessment of the 2000 Florida recount fiasco which explains exactly what happened and why.
I’ve read only two articles on their site, and was impressed by the clarity of thought and integrity of opinion. They go immediately on my “Big Minds” list.
