Memory Hole Gets Crowded

Malcolm A. Kline, February 9, 2010

Nevertheless, whether by accident or design, students who have not been taught, for example, the Constitution, will find it difficult to label anything unconstitutional. When my stepson was in high school, he was assigned the task of writing his own constitution. I suggested that he cut and paste the original to see if the teacher would notice. He demurred, thinking that his teacher wouldn’t like the text. He was probably right.

Currently, the Texas State Board of Education (TSBOE) is engaged in such a remodeling job. “TSBOE will soon finalize the language that textbook publishers use to align their textbooks to current standards,” the Liberty Counsel (LC) reports. “As Texas is a leader in textbooks, most other states purchase the same educational materials.”

As the two largest states, Texas and California to a large degree determine what texts will be available nationwide. In the lone star state, according to LC, “Some of the suggestions that have come forward at various times include:

* “Removing references to Daniel Boone, General George Patton, Nathan Hale, Columbus Day, and Christmas; * “Including the cultural impact of hip hop music, ACLU lawyer Clarence Darrow, and the Hindu holiday of Diwali;...

We need to pay attention to who we elect to these positions. Unfortunately, sometimes it's difficult to find out very much about these people.

This is why the country cannot go back to Constitutional sanity. It would take a couple of generations of sound and extensive teaching of actual history in the schools to turn the country from its road to socialism. While we fight the politics in the State Capitols and Washington, the left has already won the battle. They do not rush to clear the arena of leftover and wounded Free Men, however, they ooze onto the field until it will be covered and all are imprisoned in the muck.

Boy, those days are gone.
