New U.S. History textbook smears Trump, supporters as "racists" and Trump as "mentally unstable"

Warning, this article may be conservatively biased. ;^)

"Reading like an Op-Ed from the New York Times or The Nation, the high school textbook says of the 2016 election:

Trump’s supporters saw the vote as a victory for the people who, like themselves, had been forgotten in a fast-changing America–a mostly older, often rural or suburban, and overwhelmingly white group. Clinton’s supporters feared that the election had been determined by people who were afraid of a rapidly developing ethnic diversity of the country, discomfort with their candidate’s gender, and nostalgia for an earlier time in the nation’s history. They also worried about the mental instability of the president-elect and the anger that he and his supporters brought to the nation."

    Statistic show that only a hand full of conscious beings teach at the nations Colleges. A history major need not study history...can you believe that?

    Our schools increasingly occupied by the Dumb, the Dumber and presently the Dumbest creatures on earth, in that order since the vomit called Woodie Wilson snuck in from the academic sewers of antilectual retards.

    I think this text is all factually correct, although I agree "some said" is a weasel word.

    The article seems most indignant about the part about mentally unstable.
    "[Clinton's supporters] also worried about the mental instability of the president-elect and the anger that he and his supporters brought to the nation."
    I am absolutely certain this statement is factually correct.
    It's all correct. They just should have provided some examples of racism instead of saying some said and it would be a very clear description of recent history.

      On the other hand, it could be all the liberals (of both parties) who are mentally unstable. McCain, Feinstein, Warren, Kennedy, Obama, Clinton. What a rogues gallery of criminal instability. And there isn't room here to include all the members of the press and academia who are seriously off their meds. This affair is like something from the imagination of Stanley Kubrick and Peter Sellers.
