A primary four history textbook has become the center of discussions after it emerged that it had content that in many parts listed disadvantages of religion, specifically of Christianity.

The book, History of Ghana for Basic Schools, Learner's Book 4, was authored by Francis Benjamin Appiah and Henry David Appiah.

The cover page sighted by GhanaWeb has the approval of the National Council for Curriculum and Assessment (NaCCA) even though the outfit has denied approving the said copy.

The contentious page making the rounds on social media platforms is under the section titled: "NEGATIVE EFFECTS OF CHRISTIAN MISSIONARY ACTIVITIES."
