Textbooks present knowledge as factual and as unbiased when, in fact, the information they convey is seldom either of these. These slides show how a few major corporations control the textbook industry and the information K-12 students ultimately learn from them. This, in turn, can lead to misguided views of the U.S., of literature, of science, and of the world at large. Textbooks can be and often are hegemonic. Teachers must engage students in critical inquiry and critical literacy if learning is to be truly empowering.
