I find it rather hard to formulate a response to that.....That's utterly bastardizing the teaching of history and at the risk of godwinning it, this is precisely how the Nazi's would teach , they removed from school texts 'any' achievement that came from a Jewish person, for example.
It really is a clear case of political favouritism, and isn't that unconstitutional in the States?

Well that's another reason for me to be thankful i wasn't born in Texas and that I had a liberal grandmother and a pseudo Communist/Marxist grandfather.

I say we make Texas a mental penal colony, you can only get out once you pass a basic civics course from a better state.

The case for Texas succession grows everyday.

I'm not sure there's ever been a really compelling case against it, federal soldiers notwithstanding.

Considering political parties didn't exist when the Constitution was written, & there's no anti-political favoritism amendment, I don't believe it is.

See, the scary part here is that Texas has a huge impact on the textbook industry, which in turn can affect what gets taught in the rest of the nation.

I have a serious problem seeing how most of that stuff even remotely relates to history. This is downright shocking. The kids themselves can probably even see how these books are absolute horse manure. They don't teach history they teach modern political ideology. I would really hate to see how they bastardize the biology and science text books. Hell I would really hate to see what they do to the business economics and accounting text books.
Stories like this, really scares me. The nation with the largest stockpile of nation killing weapons, is teaching its children a bunch of crazy lies.

As someone on the outside looking in, can I just say (again) how weird the sanctification and cannonisation of the US "Founding Fathers" looks to everyone else?
