The big problem with parents and other parties censoring textbooks is the agenda behind it. The facts are the facts, people can teach their children their own opinion on why or how things happened in our history, but the truth needs to stay intact in order for us to learn from our past mistakes. A lot of what I've been hearing about the people who want to implement changes in history textbooks are people who want to all together remove historical milestones in black history or any history that paints the United states in a bad light. That sugarcoated lalaland idea of how we got to where we are now is the very thing that could digress our progress in this country right back to square one! Let our children form their minds and opinions without manipulation and censorship.
