FOX was reporting this morning that the Board of Education will consider history beginning only in 1877 and no one is sure what part Perry is going to play in all of this. Not sure of any sources to go to but perhaps they know something we don’t. My grandchildren go to private schools and the parents have a huge say so about what is taught and their history course includes study of a long time before 1877.
Beginning Sept 2010 middle schools are going to be permitted to teach only history going up till 1860.
All the US history after that date is set aside for 9th-12th grade.
I went ballistic asking how are the students expected to understand the events of today if they have no background on the events that lead to it.
Was it on a local Fox atation ? if so what city in Texas? If it was a Texas coty Fox station that can easily be checked
I watch local Fox in Dallas and it was not on here.
I have never read or heard Texas is considering this but I did read North Carolina is
Are you sure Fox said it was Texas doing this? ( starting American History at 1877?)
Could it have been the national Fox broadcast?
