A Byte on the Issue Of Hinduism in North American Academia

#1 Youtube Following Keywords:
Teaching Hindu History in American Schools (Part 1/2)
Teaching Hindu History in American Schools (Part 2/2)

#2 There are certain action items at the end of video 2/2
If you are convinced, please spread the word.

#3 Social Studies textbooks for grades six and seven in California teach about the history of various religions such as Hinduism, Buddhism, Christianity, Islam, and Judaism. When it comes to a discussion of Hinduism, textbooks portray all social evils as Hindu beliefs and suppress all achievements of Hinduism.
Such portrayal will lead to the humiliation of Hindu children in the classroom and eventually alienate them from Hinduism.

I personally see this as a small part of continued 'hard work' going on by Anti-Hindus, to corner Hinduism hence Indian Culture, whenever and wherever possible to them.
