CALIFORNIA TEXTBOOKS CORRECTIONS RESULT OF BROAD-BASED COALITION OF HINDUS

Some examples of what would be removed:

The accepted changes would remove some derogatory and humiliating statements from the textbooks like the question following the statement that it is said that Hanuman is present whenever the Ramayana is read: "Look around. Do you see any monkeys?" thus implying that Hindus are monkeys. It will change the description of a photo of a Shivalinga that was described as a "Hindu Street Shrine." Such changes will certainly save Hindu children from some humiliation and embarrassment in their classrooms although much more needs to be done.
