Losing Our Language: How Multiculturalism Undermines Our Children's Ability To Read, Write & Reason

This book argues that it is the incorporation of a multicultural agenda into basal readers, the primary tool for teaching reading in elementary schools, that has stunted American children's ability to read. The book shows how basal readers have been systematically "dumbed down" in an effort to raise minority students' "self esteem."
