EDUCATION: A conservative Christian take on British rule
source: http://www.sajaforum.org/2008/04/education-a-con.html
A couple weeks ago a group known as CAPEEM sent out a press release related to its ongoing effort to change how California textbooks cover Hinduism (earlier SAJAforum coverage here):
California Parents for the Equalization of Educational Materials (CAPEEM) scored a major victory on Tuesday when Judge Frank C. Damrell, Jr. of the United States District Court of the Eastern District of California rejected the defendants' motion to dismiss CAPEEM's lawsuit to correct inaccuracies in sixth grade history textbooks. CAPEEM's complaint contends that the process to adopt the textbooks discriminated against Hindus and that the textbooks indulge in indoctrination of Abrahamic religions while using disparaging language against Hinduism.
