The Jewish Federal of Nashville and a group of outraged parents are
calling for a school district to pull a high school textbook they
believe promotes bias against Israel.
The book, “The Cultural Landscape: An Introduction to Human
Geography,” is used in Advanced Placement classes in Williamson
County, south of Nashville.
A section titled, “Terrorism by Individuals and Organizations,” asks
students to ponder the following question:
“If a Palestinian suicide bomber kills several dozen Israeli teenagers
in a Jerusalem restaurant, is that an act of terrorism or wartime
retaliation against Israeli government policies and army actions?”

Perhaps students *should* ponder this question. Then a cogent argument
can be made that it is the former, which will also refute Richard
Falk.
Unless, of course, the book doesn't just propose the question, but
also answers it (i.e., attempts to indoctrinate).

I wonder if the book described in your post is for 12th grade public
school students
See my link below

there)

may i tell you how it does do that ,,,,, If a teacher or a figure of authority constantly says words like "I shall kill You !' in debates , that person and those who are in his/her influence are mentally crossing a barrier, Hitting and kicking other children seems `not so bad` anymore after repeatedly saying the word kill.....
In a way the writer of that book legalized terror.
And it legalized it when done towards a Specific country .

society today that many people in the country would choose to not
see. Sometimes it is more comfortable for the majority of people to
choose to be in a state of denial. You choose to be alert and not in
denial.
