The book had been taught since 1996 to Grades V and VI students without the knowledge of authorities in a number of schools in Abu Dhabi and Al Ain.Aside: Is this a first for Gulf News, giving a URL for an outside source?
The Ministry of Education banned the book from high schools after it was confiscated from a school in Abu Dhabi for its offensive content against Islam and breaching Arab rights.
'The Textbook League' review of the book on their website describes the book as "bogus and useless". It also describes it as a "fake" and a "mockery in every sense".
Full review of the book is available on http://www.textbookleague.org/75ginn.htm
