The Trouble with Textbooks Distorting History

"The Trouble with Textbooks sounds the alarm about how textbooks disparage some groups and teach historical distortions. Our schools are supposed to instill young people with American values and provide students with the knowledge necessary for good citizenship. Instead, textbooks are filled with mistakes and misrepresentations."--BOOK JACKET.

Dennis R. Ybarra is a research associate at the Institute for Jewish & Community Research. Gary A. Tobin is the president of the Institute for Jewish & Community Research, San Francisco.
