The Nation - News from Sept. 21, 1987

A member of a U.S. Department of Education review panel criticized a widely used high school curriculum on the Holocaust as unbalanced because it did not present Nazi or Ku Klux Klan points of view, a New York newspaper said. In a review of the study plan used by some 30,000 teachers instructing 450,000 high school students across the country, the unidentified panel member wrote that “the program gives no evidence of balance or objectivity,” the Daily News said. Assistant Deputy Secretary of Education Ronald Preston told the News that the comments were embarrassing.
