August 08, 2006 - Protesting what they see as inaccuracies in the way new textbooks are reporting on Iraq one group of college students, calling itself students against lies, has threatened to boycott any book reporting positively on the war in Iraq.
Citing what they claim as inaccuracies in the reasons for going to war, the presence of chemical weapons, and the implied connection between Iraq and Al Qaeda SALs goal is the complete boycott of any book they see as inaccurate.
Spanning five states, including New York, Pennsylvania, and California, this unlikely group of students of all genders and ethnicities has banded together over the internet to spread the word to their individual campuses. But, by far, the most suprising thing about their membership is the increasing amount of republican members.
"I think its only natural that republicans would agree with us." said one member "They have been lied to more often than anyone, its safe to assume they are getting sick of it by now."
As of this printing the textbook companies we contacted were unavailable for comment.
