The exam board AQA apologises and says the textbook should never have been approved.

An A-level history textbook has been withdrawn after a youth worker said she was "horrified" to discover an image asking whether the treatment of Native Americans had been exaggerated.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.

    That's an interesting way to say genocidal campaign that in many ways continues to this day.
