A HIGH school textbook that teaches Victorian VCE students that the United States and Israel have been linked to "state terrorism" has sparked outrage and a demand from the Federal Government that it be immediately withdrawn from classrooms.The book, used by about half of Victoria's 700 politics students, is being criticised for playing down the threat of
terrorism and containing flawed thinking and ideology.A furious federal Education Minister, Julie Bishop, has called on the Victorian Government to withdraw the book.
"It is inconceivable that information is being taught in schools which claims Australia is 'reaping the harvest' of our foreign policies and our 'Western imperialism'," she said.
