Sectarian Schoolbooks: A Series Of Letters (1889) is a book written by Robert J. Johnson that explores the issue of religious bias in school textbooks. The book is a collection of letters written by the author to various newspapers and public figures in the late 19th century, addressing the problem of sectarianism in educational materials.Johnson argues that many school textbooks at the time were heavily influenced by religious bias, particularly in the way they presented history and science. He argues that this bias was harmful to students, as it prevented them from receiving a well-rounded education and encouraged them to view the world through a narrow, sectarian lens.Throughout the book, Johnson provides examples of specific instances of religious bias in textbooks, and offers suggestions for how to address the problem. He advocates for a more secular approach to education, one that is based on reason and evidence rather than religious dogma.Overall, Sectarian Schoolbooks: A Series Of Letters is an important historical document that sheds light on a little-known aspect of American education in the late 19th century. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of education, the role of religion in society, or the ongoing debate over the separation of church and state.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
