Inspired by #ChristianAltFacts, I decided to pull out this old Abeka World History book. If you're interested in knowing what Christian homeschools and private schools are teaching children, follow along.

Here's what Abeka teaches Christian students about colonialism: that it "benefited" Africans and Asians. That's it. No mention of slavery or genocide. #ChristianAltFacts

This is a classic teaching of Christian homeschools and private schools: that the Holocaust is "Evolution's legacy." #ChristianAltFacts

Abeka teaches Christian students that environmentalism is part of a world government conspiracy to enact socialist totalitarianism. #ChristianAltFacts

For Christian homeschools and private schools, the Book of Genesis is "the most reliable source for what we need to know about the beginning of world history." #ChristianAltFacts

Abeka doesn't hide its anti-Catholic bent, arguing that the Catholic Church has become "infiltrated by Communists" who promote "revolution and violence." #ChristianAltFacts

Here's what Christian students are taught by Abeka about the Vietnam War: that opposition to it came from "unpatriotic" Americans who "betrayed" the cause of freedom. #ChristianAltFacts

Oh this one is golden: we dropped the atomic bombs on Japan to "save the lives" of "countless Japanese." #ChristianAltFacts

Abeka teaches Christian students to be wary of politicians who present as "friends of the poor." This is a common theme in the book, intended to imply that capitalism is godly and socialism and Communism are evil. #ChristianAltFacts

Jesus is the center of world history. The Gospels are "the most important texts for the student of history." #ChristianAltFacts

"True Christians" are "good citizens." And "Government should never discourage Christianity." #ChristianAltFacts

Here's what Christian students are taught about Charles Darwin. It's... a mess. #ChristianAltFacts

This is all that Abeka teaches about slavery in the U.S. #ChristianAltFacts

Alright, my phone is about to die, so I gotta stop now. Thanks for everyone who followed along. What do you want me to review next?

Here's my review of David Noebel's "The Battle for Truth":
