The American Vision

An 11th-grade United States history textbook used by Dadeville High School, published in 2005, lists George W. Bush as the current president.

"Critical race theory" isn't listed in the index of "The American Vision," Dadeville High School's 11th-grade United States history textbook. Nor is "Obama, Barack."

The omission is understandable considering that at the time the textbook was published, then-Senator Obama had only just been sworn in to represent Illinois. On the cover is a badge advertising the inclusion of a Time Magazine 2004 election update.

History textbooks

"The American Vision," "World History: Modern Times" and "World History: Journey Across Time," above, are some of the history textbooks used at Dadeville High School published nearly two decades ago.
