because facts are facts.
you can draw whatever opinion you want to about those facts, but there can't be alternative facts.
capice.
i'd hope they're biased in favor of the truth. you should be biased in favor of facts, too.
i'm not trying to insult you. i'm pointing out that the idea that the textbooks are 'biased' is silly.
and facts don't always suit our political views.
or do you want to do the whole texas: let's make up our own history thing?
read.
learn.
In other words
The bias of the books is the same as yours, and not based entirely on facts.
fdr was a tyrant, anyone that says otherwise is nothing less than a liar.

A yellow face got you put in "camp" along side people that had a wrong sounding last name.
He confiscated property
He confiscated wealth
Seems I'm fully correct.
ok, he was a "soft" tyrant, since he only killed black men by having experiments done on them.
Okay, on the first statement it was in a context which talks about all immigrants, not just legal ones, but that set aside, only 9.8% of Latino LEGAL immigrants have a college degree, and 29% of white immigrants. My textbook was just plain wrong saying that most immigrants are well-educated.
On the next statement, you are wrong about the 14th amendment protecting illegals, as it specifically states it only applies to "citizens" which undocumented people are not. Regardless, it presents that "fact" as though everybody should support certain policies, and has no place in our public schools. I'm assuming you don't support teaching creationism in our schools? This is the same sort of deal.
Also, could you please give me your opinion on the statement about Al-Queada and the Taliban that neglects to mention religion as their main motive?
Is anyone else fascinated by the sight of a high school freshman taking apart two of the most arrogant liberal poseurs on the boards like cheap watches?
Is anyone else fascinated by the sight of neocon whackjobs actually believing this is a high school freshmen, then giving the sock a slap on the back for 'taking apart' two posters who are handing this 'kid' his/her arse on a plate...

I'm historically correct.
So yeah.
You have aligned yourselves with the Nazi and will always be wrong to use that term.

That is incorrect, you ignorant fool. FDR threw innocent Americans (some of the very best and bravest, as it turns out) into concentration camps. That is what they were, that is what he called them, and that is a fact of history no matter how much it upsets you. You can't talk your way around it. Semantics is not on your side any more than the facts are. Now, get ahold of your little emotions and face reality.
Use a dictionary, for starters to continue your "fascination" with the challenges of English.
She is accurate in her use of English and you are not (again).
That is not to mention that I know I said, "English-challenged", while Jake mistakenly thought I said, "English".

They were not concentration camps......
Human geography?
People getting maps tatooed on themselves now?

Lol. No, Human Geography is the study of human interaction withe the environment, at least according to my biased textbook. I wouldn't know if I'd trust that definition, though!

They were - by definition - concentration camps. That's why FDR called them concentration camps. The English language does not change in response to your discomfort.

No, they're correct. An example would be . . . Switzerland's famous neutrality, made possible by the fact that their country is ringed in by the Alps. Another example would be the much-decried fact that Americans are so much less likely to visit other countries than Europeans, which is due to the tandem facts that 1) we're separated by oceans and a lot of territory from most other countries, where Europeans need only a train ride of a few hours to cross a border, and 2) our own country is so very large and diverse in itself.

It's safe to say that the term "Concentration camp" has entered the vernacular to mean those camps run by Nazi's to inter Jews, Homosexuals, Gypsies etc.
Don't believe me? Do a little experiment. Go outside and ask the first 100 passers by what is the first thing that comes into their minds when you say 'concentration camp'..
Write down how many say things like Nazis, Jews and Holocaust. Write down how many talk about Japanese in the US during WWII...

What the term 'concentration camp' means is not limited to what the Nazis did. FDR threw over 100,000 innocent Americans into concentration camps. That is a fact.
There are prisons in the US where inmates can go online, watch cable TV, exercise all day, study towards a college degree, or even work to earn money for themselves. There are prisons in other parts of the world where inmates are beaten, starved, and killed. This does not mean that those places in the US are not 'prisons.' They are, because words mean something.
As for 'the man on the street,' go outside and ask 100 people to locate Burkina Faso on a map. Does the inevitable result mean that Burkina Faso doesn't exist, or that we must call it something other than a 'country'?
Try to think a little more carefully.
The "fact" as Unkotare uses it is historically and culturally inaccurate.
Do you believe the stuff you type?
I'm historically correct.
So yeah.
You're historically correct like OJ wasn't guilty, or Dumbya was a great president, or Joe McCarthy was a 'good' guy...
