Popular Textbook in Public Schools Was Written by an Abortion Activist

. . .LifeNews recently discovered heavy pro-abortion biases in a best-selling American government textbook. Digging a little deeper, we learned that the lead author of the textbook, “American Government: Roots and Reform” (Pearson) by Karen J. O’Connor and Larry J. Sabato, is an abortion advocate . . .

A member of the U-46 School Board near Chicago, [a parent] raised concerns about the textbook in December after discovering biased sections about abortion and other political issues. She cast the sole vote against it.

LifeNews, which reviewed sections of the new AP edition of the textbook, now in its 13th edition, found several deeply concerning passages. And while many educators do put aside their bias to teach students, it appears that lead author Karen O’Connor did not . . .

One example is the very first paragraph of the introduction to students:

“Why is learning about history important to the study of politics today? And how are the ideas of the Framers relevant for understanding modern political issues such as health care, immigration, and abortion rights? … As students of the American political process, it can be challenging to identify what is really important and how government truly affects your lives.”
