Valditara calls for withdrawal of text book accusing govt of 'destroying liberty'

Education Minister Giuseppe Valditara urged Laterza publishing house to retract a high-school history textbook that criticizes the government and links Premier Giorgia Meloni's party to Fascism. The book, 'Trame del Tempo 3', claims the Meloni administration enacts liberticidal measures and has ties to a fascist legacy. Valditara expressed concerns about the portrayal of the government as fascist, stating it is misleading and could indoctrinate students. He emphasized the need for the publisher to protect its reputation by withdrawing the book, which he deemed scientifically inadequate.
