CNSNews.com - Poll: Majority of Americans Believe Their Kids' Textbooks Place Political Correctness Above Accuracy

CNSNews.com - Poll: Majority of Americans Believe Their Kids' Textbooks Place Political Correctness Above Accuracy: "(CNSNews.com) - A new Rasmussen Poll shows that 60 percent of Americans with children in elementary schools say most school textbooks are more concerned with presenting information in a politically correct manner than in accuracy.

In a national survey conducted March 6-7, 1,000 adults were asked: “Are most school textbooks more concerned about accurately providing information or about presenting information in a politically correct manner?”

Only 28 percent thought textbooks were more concerned with presenting information accurately.

Among all Americans polled, even those without children, the same percentage -- 28 percent – said they believe that accuracy is paramount, while 55 percent disagreed and said most textbooks are more concerned about political correctness. Eighteen percent of those polled were undecided."
