Parents outraged over newly approved textbooks

(CNN, KYMA/KECY) - New social study textbooks recently approved by the Scottsdale Unified School District have some parents furious.

At the latest governing board meeting, several spoke out against a new U.S. history textbook that includes topics like Black Lives Matter protests, the death of George Floyd, and former NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick taking a knee to protest police violence.

Many who spoke out against the material called it anti-police and divisive, believing that the content is slanted to make police officers look bad to students.
