TEXAS MOM CALLS OUT TEXTBOOK PUBLISHER FOR INTERPRETING SLAVERY AS IMMIGRATION
Oct. 3, 2015, Pearland, Texas.

Woman's son showed his mom his World Geography book passage stating that slaves were immigrants.
She made a video, which went viral on Facebook, showing the passage. I saw something ironically funny there and will take a screenshot.

The mother contacted Mcgraw-Hill, which will now revise and republish the textbook.

Here is an article, which links to her original video.

An interesting segment from her FB comments' replies, one guy wrote:

"If you stay in a country whilst being free. You are an immigrant, stolen or not. Isn't that hard to understand. Go cry to the publisher. And hasan, Your logic is flawed instantly when you start depicting race. All lived matter. Black people get shot daily by other blacks. There aren't protests over that.... Lmao"


It is virtually impossible to have such a sweep of a textbook in Texas. How many other requests, made for revisions of FACTUAL ERROR, were never acknowledged?

Must be nice to be one of the "protected class" in liberal America.

Good point!

If you look at one of her criticisms, the word immigrant, it is really splitting hairs:


im·mi·grant

noun: immigrant; plural noun: immigrants
a person who comes to live permanently in a foreign country.
synonyms: newcomer, settler, migrant, emigrant;
nonnative, foreigner, alien, outsider;
expatriate;
informal: expat

"they will convene to discuss the civil liberties of immigrants"

:Hard workers:

Hopefully the poor grammar he texted his mom was intentional !
