New High School Textbook Describes Trump as Mentally Ill, Supporters as Racist ==
By Todd Starnes - April 23, 2019
– Beginning 2020 many Advanced Placement students will be using an American History textbook that depicts President Trump as mentally ill and his supporters as racists.
The textbook, published by Pearson Education, is titled, “By the People: A History of the United States.” The final section of the book, titled, “The Angry Election of 2016” is especially critical of the president.
“Most thought that Trump was too extreme a candidate to win the nomination, but his extremism, his anti-establishment rhetoric, and, some said, his not very hidden racism connected with a significant number of primary voters,” the author wrote.
The author goes on to describe the president’s supporters as “mostly older, often rural or suburban, and overwhelmingly white.”
“Clinton’s supporters feared that the election had been determined by people who were afraid of a rapidly developing ethnic diversity of the country, discomfort with their candidate’s gender and nostalgia for an earlier time in the nation’s history,” the textbook reads. “They also worried about the mental stability of the president-elect and the anger that he and his supporters brought to the nation.”
