Guest guest Posted February 21, 2006 Report Share Posted February 21, 2006 Dear Haribhaktas, Here's a forwarded mail from Govinda mahodaya about the efforts in correcting the inaccuracies in California High school text books. Regards, Sathya Note: forwarded message attached. Dear MS Sathyanarayana, Subscribe me! Govinda has forwarded this email to you with the following message: Namaste Sathya, Could you please post this (CA text book change info) on SVBM and VMS groups? dhanyavaadaH, govinda Please Note: You have NOT been added to any email lists. If you no longer wish to receive these messages, please contact govinda_yelagalawadi. Namaste, Please take immediate action to support the efforts of The Vedic Foundation and Hindu Education Foundation to have a respectful and accurate view of Hinduism in the 6th grade textbooks in California. A quiet battle has begun to reform the grade school textbooks that our children and countless other children use to learn about Hinduism and India. The texts currently in use in the public school system throughout the US teach derogatory and disrespectful concepts about Hinduism that demean the greatness of our faith. The California Department of Education’s textbook adoption process is at a critical juncture. Decisions are being made at this very moment to either use outdated and prejudicial content or to accept correct, current and truthful descriptions of Hinduism. The corrections submitted by The Vedic Foundation and other Hindu groups are supported by scholars, interfaith clergy, community leaders and individuals such as you. The Vedic Foundation urges you to take immediate action. Click here to read our position and view a sample of inaccuracies in the books. TAKE ACTION. GET INVOLVED.

Write your own letter of support. Click here to compose and send your letter by email. 3. Fax a letter of support; click here for fax letter.
