An A-level history textbook has been withdrawn after a youth worker said she was “horrified” to discover an image asking whether the treatment of Native Americans had been exaggerated.
The AQA-approved book asked students to balance “criticisms of treatment of Native Americans” with “defence” of their treatment in the late 1800s.
The period saw some massacres of Native American tribes by the US government.
The publisher Hodder has withdrawn the book.
