The humor conveyed here brings a smile because everyone knows the technology of photography was in its infant stage when images of President Lincoln were captured for posterity.
What is disconcerting, however, is the proclivity of modern textbooks to misrepresent history. Why would companies tasked with conveying historical facts to modern learners abandon accuracy in recording truth?
The bottom line appears to be that once staunch conveyors of truth have succumbed to the allurement of financial gain and have compromised the inerrancy for which they once strove in exchange for monetary gain.
Wealthy entities, striving to promote their own agenda, subsidize
companies that produce textbooks when they change the facts of history
in a way that promotes a misrepresentation of what actually happened.
Most notorious are wealthy Muslims who promote the false notion that Islam was at the forefront of freedom and equality when the reality is that slavery existed officially in the muslim world until the 1960s and still exists there unofficially today.
The fact of Muslim piracy on the high seas when goods were stolen and western crews enslaved is misrepresented. It is touted that President Jefferson possessed a Quran but his reason for having one--to try to grasp an understanding of the Muslim mind so he could better counter their treachery--goes unstated.
Parents and educators must scrutinize textbook offerings carefully and insist that school districts purchase only those that accurately represent the events of the past.
To do otherwise is to succumb to the warning, "They who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it." Edmund Burke
Monies saved by accepting subsidized textbooks is taken at the cost of a generation of young people who will not know the dangers of an insidious world view that aspires to nothing less than subverting free men and relegating them to second class citizenship while subjecting everyone to the rule of the Islamic world-wide caliphate.
