Continuing in the science section of the book, I am still finding a lot of books that I believe a slant or opinion to them about. Science is fact and not to be put forth with an agenda. It seems national groups on the science level want to push an agenda I am disappointed with this. Education is not about pushing an agenda, but to teach students to think for themselves. Students are to learn to gather information through reading, research, and experience and to form thoughts of their own.

The book talks about rain forests, regular forest, trees, season, and weather which at looking at those books I am kind of disappointed at the synopsis of them because I feel they are not science but an agenda to program children to think that they are evil and doing wrong because their parents and grandparents formed a country that is blessed.

The book now is talking about space science. I think these books are more science and fact based to help students learn. I love astronomy I have loads of books myself about the universe. I love reading anything about mars, astronauts, sun, moon, or stars.

Now the book switches to books about social studies and history. Here is another subject that is based on an agenda. The book talks about civil rights and jumps into slavery, escaping slavery, emancipation, and the struggle for civil rights in the United States. The United States may have its faults but it is still greatest country for freedom for people. They talk about slavery, native Americans, and when they mention books about the leaders of the country they mention mainly progressives. I don’t agree with this.
