A TEXAS high school student and his mother recently called attention to a curious line in a geography textbook:
a description of the Atlantic slave trade as bringing “millions of workers” to plantations in the American South.
McGraw-Hill Education, the publisher of the textbook, has since ______(1)_______ that the term “workers” was a misnomer.
The company‟s chief executive also promised to revise the textbook so that its digital version as well as its next
edition would more accurately describe the forced migration and enslavement of Africans. In the meantime, the
company is also ____(2)_______ to send stickers to cover the passage. But it will take more than that to fix the way slavery is
taught in Texas textbooks. In 2010, the Texas Board of Education approved a social studies _______(3)______ that promotes
capitalism and Republican political philosophies. The curriculum guidelines prompted many concerns, including
that new textbooks would _________(4)_______slavery as the cause of the Civil War. This fall, five million public school students
in Texas began using the textbooks based on the new _____(5)_________. And some of these books distort history not through
word choices but through a tool we often think of as apolitical: grammar. In September, Bobby Finger of the
website Jezebel obtained and published some excerpts from the new books, showing much of what is
objectionable about their content. The books play down the horror of slavery and even seem to claim that it had
an upside. This ________(6)____ took the form of a distinctive African-American culture, in which family was central,
Christianity provided “hope,” folk tales expressed “joy” and ________(7)_______ dances were important social events. But it is
not only the substance of the passages that is a problem. It is also their form. The writers‟ decisions about how to construct sentences, about what the subject of the sentence will be, about whether the verb will be active or
passive, shape the message that slavery was not all that bad.
