According to the report, the books contained a sanitized version of some of the most radical aspects of Islam, including the oppressive system known as Sharia law.
"Virtually every school district in America is using one or more of these textbooks-and probably a lot of private schools, too," Rodgers told CBN News.
One textbook, World History: Patterns of Interaction reads that Sharia "requires Muslim leaders to extend religious tolerance to Christians and Jews."
Yet another text taught that Muslims were "extremely tolerant of those they conquered" and "allowed Christians and Jews to keep their churches and synagogues and promised them security."
Rodgers says such teachings are factually and historically incorrect.
"There's nothing in Sharia law that requires Muslim leaders to extend tolerance to Christians and Jews," Rodgers said.
"And this idea that there was full religious freedom granted? Well, let me refer to one Muslim historian - he estimated that some 30,000 Christian churches were destroyed during the first two centuries of jihad after (the Islamic prophet) Mohammed died," he added.
