At the recent Columbia conference sponsored by Scholars for Peace in the Middle East, Morton Klein, head of the Zionist Organization of America, told an interesting anecdote (view video of his speech here). He said, regarding his daughter's Middle East history textbook, that every paragraph contained one or more lies about Israel. Every paragraph. So he goes to the school board to complain. Following his complaint, the Jewish parents start calling him, telling him to shut up, don't make waves as a Jew, you'll just make it more difficult. Meanwhile, some of the Christian parents call him up, asking what they can do about the situation. Why? They don't want their kids learning bad history! That's the only thing that's important to them. It's not a Jewish thing, or a Christian thing, or an Arab thing. It's about good history.

The kicker to the story is that fortunately, the superintendent was a Christian, and he got the book replaced.

Blog readers know how much revisionist history is churning out of Palestinian textbooks and infecting its way into the politically correct West. It's up to us not to be afraid to speak out about it.

Here's an article that details some of the problem.

And that last part should sound very familiar.
