whole country, i think that s highly unlikely that the way that the book is written. here on pages 46 through 49, we live together says the first thanksgiving was all about a lack of water for people walking up the el camino path in 1598. the pilgrims in the may flower aren t mentioned pages 136 through 139. they came to america for a better life. the pilgrims built a colony built plymouth. we are trying to make sure everybody has an equal opportunity in this country so the textbooks reflect that. james banks a leader in that area. james banks is the lead author of we live together. he says banks was a prominent consultant for 1993 s reflecting diversity. multi cultural guidelines for educational publishing professionals. he developed guidelines at that time for mcmillan-mcgraw hill in the early 1990s of how to depict male, female,
two completely two different sets of authors are identical. textbooks are almost set up to fail just by the way they are authored. professor brinkley, good morning. griff jenkins from fox news. this is alan brinkley, as the school s chief academic officer or provost he wrote this book the unfinished nation. his 2008 edition did not have the facts straight about the number of terrorist suspects charged sips the attacks of september 11th, 2001. sir, you talk about the suspect s september 11th. in the end you write quote only one such suspect was ever charged with a crime. that s not correct, is it, sir? you have nothing to say? at least 1 it it it 29 suspects had been convicted of terror-related charges in u.s. federal courts when professor brinkley s book was published. we posted their names on fox news.com. we asked him if he is planning to correct these inaccuracies in his next edition.
