Excerpt:
A North Huntingdon pastor says a seventh-grade history textbook used by the Norwin School District "whitewashes" the history of Islam while demonizing Christian history, but the district stands by the book and doesn't plan to change its curriculum.
The Rev. Bruce Leonatti of Zion Evangelical Lutheran Church said he doesn't want the book to be banned. He just wants schools to teach the "nice side" of religion.
"Don't talk about the growth of Islam or Christianity," he said last week. "Just teach the basics."
