Substitution of "enslaved people" for "slaves" seems more in the nature of lefty political correctness. In the Crash Course series on black American history, the host always says "enslaved people," never "slaves."

Could be. Or it could be one of the ongoing attempts to bowdlerize history by the white nationalists and their semi-white nationalist auxilliary.

It says the same damn thing but with more woke terms.

LOL... good job disproving your own woke rage.

Fucking dumbass SJW idiots just can't help yourselves.

Or you're just a delusional nut who doesn't have the slightest fucking clue what white nationalism is.

Looks like I triggered the Semi-White Nationalist yet again.

Most history text books have been white-washed for generations.

Ogg's right.

School textbook committees don't write the text books. They decide which of the available text books to buy/use for the coming year, which can be controversial enough.

Just judging from the images shared, that looks to me like a type re-release of an existing text book with the language substitution to reflect current usage.

You are correct, school textbook committees don't write textbooks. Conservatives realized years ago that Texas buys more textbooks than virtually any other state, and textbook authors caved into the demands of a shrill few fanatics in the interests of maximizing sales. Ergo, Texas school state school boards are de facto censors of textbooks....

....and Murica is much worse off because of this.

Yes I'm against the racism you promote...and yes I don't see anything wrong with being white, that's why I'm not the racist pile of shit here Luk....get a clue.

Murica, a place you fucking detest and want turned into a hyper racist version of N. Korea.

We all totally buy your alligator tears for the country you loathe so much Rob.

When I was at school, all our history textbooks were about white men colonising the world and building the British Empire (despite it being The Commonwealth then).

Our examination syllabus stopped in mid-1914.

Later, in Australia, there was more emphasis on the Pacific, but still stopped in 1939.

Interesting how in both cases, it stops just as things are about to get . . . complicated.

I think the OP is confused. Replacing "slaves" with "Enslaved people" isn't a conservative or white nationalist move.

That's why the uber-woke (D)ipshit got slapped around for it so badly.

One could make a case that "enslaved person" is more PC because "slave" might be read to imply some inherent personal characteristic.
