Texas schools board rewrites US history

I posted this in another thread, but I was wondering what you gentlemen and ladies think of this.

heh.....we will rule the world......ijs.

They took prayer and paddles out of the schools and look what you've got. A bunch of stupid hooktards misspelling words, using bad grammar, can't do math worth a shit and believe the War of States Rights was about slavery. It's about time someone wised up and started telling the truth whether you want to hear it or not.

We already rule the world.

So what's the problem? Let Texas raise a generation of Jim Jones idiots.

The pendulum swings to the right and the left cries foul.

Education has had a strong liberal bias for many years. It was only a matter of time before someone tries to swing it back to the right.

Texas has been trying this for years. Years. Let them do it. When their kids grow up and go to college out of state...well, they may live to regret the fees for remedial tutoring.

The fly in the ointment is the textbook publishers. They don't make a different textbook for each state. Texas purchases a lot of textbooks, therefore the crap that they want ends up being taught in other states.

If you want prayer in school, step up to the plate and pay for your kid to go to a private school - I did.

I have no kids of my own but I do volunteer work with a lot of them. A simple non denominational prayer, if nothing else, serves as a reminder that they have an obligation to someone other than themselves. I don't see any negative in that. Beyond that I don't thinck a SHMB is the proper place to get into a moral or religious discussion.

It wasn't meant to turn into a moral or religious discussion. I'm not religious at all and could care less, but changing the history books to suit your views isn't cool at all.
I am also apprehensive that since TX is such a huge ass state that the books won't be limited to just that area. They'll end up all over the US. It's a valid concern.

Finally! A curriculum for indoctrination that Joseph Goebbels would be proud of. Now we need only implement personal loyalty oaths to the governor.

I weep for the future.
