Review of the 16th edition of the American Pageant history textbook
It seems that the Dallas Independent School District is using the 15th edition of this textbook, however, this review will very likely apply entirely to that edition as well. Many of the criticisms will apply to most American history textbooks. The 16th edition refers to two notorious neo-Confederate historians as credible sources.
This is a chapter from my book, "Pernicious: The Neo-Confederate Campaign Against Social Justice." I have two chapters on those who are enablers. This chapter took one textbook as an example of how textbooks devalue African American humanity and are basically Confederate monuments in themselves.
