Private school textbooks misinterpret slavery, denounce evolution - NY Daily News - Duration: 5:39.
Some private schools in Florida are using taxpayer-sponsored scholarships to teach kids that humans and dinosaurs once walked the Earth side by side
These lessons are taught from the pages of three Christian publishing companies that specialize in school books with a heavy religious angle, often in conflict with factual history and widely accepted science
Many of the private schools in the state operate in no small part off the nearly $1 billion in scholarships and vouchers funded by taxpayers, the Orlando Sentinel reported
Advertisement The companies — Abeka, BJU Press and Accelerated Christian Education — push falsities and opinions on children like the Endangered Species Act is a "radical social agenda
" Another teaches that "Bible passages, rock art and ancient evidence seem to describe man's accounts of living dinosaurs," implying a first-hand account of the long-extinct animals
The book also said that Noah likely had baby dinos on the ark. An Abeka history textbook titled "America: Land I Love," attacks progressive politics, modern psychology and science with religion, blaming Satan, HuffPost found
The book says, "Satan did not want people worshiping God, so in the late 1800s, Satan hatched the ideas of evolution, socialism, Marxist-socialism, progressive education and modern psychology to counter America's increased religiosity
" "That was just plain-old, misguided, bad, horrible science, talking about dinosaurs and humans living together," Florida Citizens for Science member and science teacher Brandon Haught told the Sentinel
An ACE social studies book downplays the role of slavery in the Civil War, referring to it as a "casual factor
" "There were many causes for the 'war between the states' or the Civil War," according to ACE
"Slavery is a likely casual factor, but not the only one. States' rights and protective tariffs also played a big role
God may have also been punishing people with the war, as it was preceded by a time of 'religious apostasy and cultism
' "After the war," the text continues, "the South suffered, but it rose from the ashes to become the Bible Belt, a part of the country that has continued to stand firm on the fundamentals of Christian faith
" These publishers have a much larger reach than just one state. A HuffPost analysis on the three Christian companies found that their textbooks are used in about 7,200 private school choice programs across 25 states as of December 2017
Private school choice programs offer vouchers to parents to help with tuition costs and tax credits to corporations that donate to scholarship funds
President Trump and Education Secretary Betsy DeVos are huge advocates of this system and have encouraged other states to consider joining in
There are currently 14 voucher program states — plus Washington D.C. — and 17 with tax credit initiatives
Many teachers peddling the information laid out in these textbooks support it. "We believe our way is correct," Downey Christian School in east Orange County, Fla
director, Tim Dees, told the Sentinel. "We focus on creationism because that's what we believe
" And the states, for the most part, do little to nothing to regulate or keep track of what private schools teach their students
By law, they don't have to. In Florida, it's prohibited.
