NY state tests bash Christians, exalt Muslims

In a not too subtle influence, students were required to answer test questions in the way history revisionists prefer: against western civilization and for eastern. In the most recent attempt to revise history and bash Christianity, students were required to answer this way. Otherwise, of course, they'd be marked wrong. New York Post:
The passage reads: "Wherever they went, the Moslems [sic] brought with them their love of art, beauty and learning. From about the eighth to the eleventh century, their culture was superior in many ways to that of western Christendom."
Meanwhile, an excerpt listing the common procedures used by Christian friars to introduce the religion in Latin America stated that "idols, temples and other material evidences of paganism [were] destroyed," and "Christian buildings [were] often constructed on sites of destroyed native temples" -- and built with free Indian labor, to boot.
No mention of the Hagia Sophia which was originally a Christian church upon which a mosque was built in victory.  No mention of the Temple Mount, upon which the Dome of the Rock was built.
