Isabel Brown @theisabelb Apr 6 Teenagers are sharing photos of their AP U.S. Government textbooks, and the sheer amount of indoctrination is wildly disturbing.

Apparently, Barack Obama is ideologically a right wing authoritarian.

Hillary Clinton and George W Bush are entirely indistinguishable politically.

Donald Trump is of course virtually the same as Hitler.

@tedcruz is apparently more radically authoritarian than Fidel Castro AND Joseph Stalin…???

@Linda_McMahon — can we expedite some major changes to American public education?

    Taught AP for a few years, history, not gov. There are about a dozen qualified textbooks to choose from; textbook adoption is a whole process. They’re generally pretty fine, content wise; standard college liberalism.

    It seems like the hubbub is related to the concept of the political compass, which is a pretty antiquated and inaccurate measurement of political beliefs (as we’ve discussed ad nauseam).

    But this is obviously right wing outrage bait
