Gee, I wonder who’s writing these textbooks?

WILLIAMSON COUNTY, Tenn. (WKRN) – Several Williamson County parents are asking for the school district to take a closer look at a book being used in a high school class.

The textbook is used in a Human Geography class which studies the world, its people, communities and cultures.

However, some parents fear students are being exposed to questionable content.

“[The book states] that Hamas, Hezbollah, and the PLO are called ‘political parties’ in the book when our own state department classifies them as terrorist organizations,” parent Hugh Nemets told Nashville’s News 2.

For Nemets, who is Jewish, one statement in particular from the 10th edition of “The Cultural Landscape: An Introduction to Human Geography” textbook was most alarming.

The book states, “If a Palestinian suicide bomber kills several dozen Israeli teenagers in a Jerusalem restaurant, is that an act of terrorism or wartime Teaching Student Hamas And Hezbollah Are “Political Parties,” against Israeli government policies and army actions?”

Nemets said, “It smells of anti-Semitism to me. It opened the door to legitimizing terror.”
