Textbooks Flawed

Textbooks used in some parts of Louisiana are under fire for the "facts" that they are spewing. 
Many young people turned to drugs and immoral lifestyles; these youth became known as hippies. They went without bathing, wore dirty, ragged, unconventional clothing, and deliberately broke all codes of politeness or manners. Rock music played an important part in the hippie movement and had great influence over the hippies. Many of the rock musicians they followed belonged to Eastern religious cults or practiced Satan worship.
Textbooks are supposed to be able to taken as facts so we are teaching children that whole groups of people can be blanketed under impolite, immoral, satan worshipping druggies.  Other such "facts" have been found to be written in this book and taught in these schools as well.  Tolerance is obviously not being taught at all anymore.

  1. Wow! Very harsh and judgmental wording, especially for a textbook.
