I was just reading about UNESCO and textbooks. Apparently Saudi Arabia made a donation to UNESCO and now wants a say in what goes into textbooks. UNESCO is the UN's education front and in addition to taking over America they want to indoctrinate our students with Saudi friendly materials, Saudi's hate Christians and Jews.

Drawing from research in his upcoming book, which assessed Saudi school textbooks for the last academic year, AlAhmed gave examples of what Saudi children are taught. He said a guidebook says first-grade teachers should tell students that:

"Adhering to Islam is the only path to enter heaven, and escape hellfire."
"It is from Islam to love Muslims, and to hate the unbelievers and not to imitate them."
"Examples of false religions [include] Judaism, Christianity."

AlAhmed says a ninth-grade book teaches that, "The Jews and the Christians are enemies of the believers. He says an 11th-grade book states, "The cursed are: The Christians and all those who have erred from the true path, and worshipped God with other than his orders."

While the Saudi Embassy press spokesperson in Washington D.C. failed to respond to a request for comment, a UNESCO official signaled that the financial support of members was welcomed.

"Each country has the ultimate responsibility for the content of its national textbooks," said Qian Tang, UNESCO's assistant director general for education. "UNESCO's aim is to encourage and support those responsible (in ministries of education) for the writing and production of textbooks to reflect on how textbook content should promote respect and tolerance for diversity and eliminate all forms of negative stereotypes. "

Tang said "member states' engagement in this important area of work is welcomed by UNESCO, as is their financial contribution."
