During the mid-1980's a number of studies reported that American history textbooks were negligent in covering religious events. These findings were widely reported by the national media and resulted in both conservative and liberal organizations demanding that religious events be returned to the history textbooks.Subjects--Topical Terms:

520 $a During the mid-1980's a number of studies reported that American history textbooks were negligent in covering religious events. These findings were widely reported by the national media and resulted in both conservative and liberal organizations demanding that religious events be returned to the history textbooks.
520 $a The purpose of this study was to determine if the coverage of religious events actually had declined over the last century in secondary American history textbooks. The first part of the study involved a content analysis examination of textbook samples in selected decades from 1870 to the mid-1980's for their coverage of the same fifteen religious events, all of recognized historical importance, occurring prior to the Civil War. Rather than a decline, there was a gradual but steady increase in religious coverage, as social history emerged as an important historical approach. The 1980's texts had the highest coverage of both colonial and nineteenth century religious events.
520 $a Since many critics had assumed that the Supreme Court rulings on school prayer in the early 1960's had resulted in publishers wanting to eliminate this controversial topic, Part Two examined this relationship. Five more religious topics, occurring prior to the 1950's, were added. The textbooks of the 1950's were then compared to those of the 1980's. The textbooks of the 1980's, which had already demonstrated far more coverage of pre-Civil War events, had more than double the coverage of the additional events from the first half of the twentieth century.
520 $a Part Three compared these heavily criticized textbooks of the mid-1980's with those of the early 1990's to determine if the publishers were responding to the adverse publicity. Six additional religious events were added to the existing twenty. The books displayed an enormous increase in coverage of religious events in each of the historical time periods examined in the study.
520 $a A concluding examination of popular college and trade books indicates that high school textbooks are still far behind the standards set by these books.
