28 years ago we had a 6th Grade textbook from Oxford University Press in which we found many instances of antisemitic passages. The company defended some of the passages as explaining what Christians thought of the Jews, but said they would give some thought to revisions for future editions of the textbook. I don't if that book was revised, but it seems some of the same problems are present in this latest history textbook from Oxford.
