I'm surprised the moderates held out this long
I guess we could also talk about the state of education in America in general
After three days of turbulent meetings, the Texas Board of Education on Friday approved a social studies curriculum that will put a conservative stamp on history and economics textbooks, stressing the superiority of American capitalism, questioning the Founding Fathers’ commitment to a purely secular government and presenting Republican political philosophies in a more positive light.
The vote was 10 to 5 along party lines, with all the Republicans on the board voting for it.
“We are adding balance,” said Dr. Don McLeroy, the leader of the conservative faction on the board, after the vote. “History has already been skewed. Academia is skewed too far to the left.”
“I reject the notion by the left of a constitutional separation of church and state,” said David Bradley, a conservative from Beaumont who works in real estate. “I have $1,000 for the charity of your choice if you can find it in the Constitution.”
He also won approval for an amendment stressing that Germans and Italians as well as Japanese were interned in the United States during World War II, to counter the idea that the internment of Japanese was motivated by racism.

every side says that about the other
I'm not saying that anybody is wrong or right
but I've never seen that line of thinking result in any progress
I think the biggest problem education faces is politics muddying up the tachyons
Doesn't believe in the constitutional separation of church and state?

I'm not trolling
Texas is awesome and I honestly would not want to live anywhere else, ever
I'm tired of people who have been to like El Paso and are like "Texas is all farmers and barren" and stupid shit like that when we have the 4th and 7th largest cities in the US.
i've got the ham if you've got the bread
Google+
polls indicate as much, anyway
then all the experts must be biased
well you have the 4th and 7th largest cities
I guess that makes it okay to push a ridiculous series of revisions onto a potentially national textbook publishing body
