How to Read a Book - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:
I was going through old notes from classes I took in the 1980's and found a referral to this book. I think it might be the missing link to my derisive nature.

I tried to call the professor who mentioned it but he is no where to be found these days. It was at the School for New Learning, SNL, at DePaul night school -- we were called the Weekend Warriors.

ICYMI: Fascist Indoctrination — 'Obama Pushed on Our Kids in Lit Textbook' This entry was posted on 10/14/2008 12:55 AM

[Letter Excerpts]

"My 8th grade son is in an advanced English class at a public middle school here in Racine, Wisconsin. I just found out that my son's new (copyright 2008) Wisconsin - McDougal Littell Literature book has 15 pages covering Barack Obama.

"I was shocked - No John McCain, no Hillary Clinton, no George Bush - Just Barack Obama. I'm wondering how it is that Obama's story gets put into an 8th grade literature book? It would be one thing, if it was just the tidbit about his boyhood days, but 15 pages, and they talk about his "Life of Service". Honestly, what has Obama really done to be included in this book? Not only that, but on page 847 there is a photo of Obama at the 2004 Democratic Convention with at least 8 Obama signs in the background! Front & center is an www.obama2004.com sign.

"Now I understand that many teachers are liberals, but does the school have the right to shove Obama down our kid's throats?

"If you would like to see the 15 page story on Obama, it appears that you can order this book online.

By the way, you might find this interesting: I did a little checking on McDougal Littell, and it appears that MCDOUGAL, ALFRED L CHICAGO , IL 60611 - N/A/RETIRED has been making contributions to Barack Obama's campaign!

"I found that information on this website.

"Now I'm not an expert at these things (just a PTA mom), but It looks to me like Alfred McDougal is connected to McDougal Littell the same company that publishes the 8th grade textbook that has 15 pages on Obama.

"I guess my question is:

Is it ethical for an Obama supporter to publish an educational book which has a 15 page Barrack Obama story in it?

If the tax payers are paying for these books, why is it okay for McDougal Littell to promote Obama? (Dooley, Fred; Oct 13, 2008. Source HERE retrieved and paraphrased)"
