George is right insofar as the east coast lefties are already planning their next attack on school texts. They are that evil.
“When the SHTF...
I hope I have enough gas to get to Texas...”
If the SHTF, I’ll get you there.
I’m going to have my 16 and 13 year old daughters read this. Here in VA I’m constantly having to look over their studies and call to complain. I’ve brushed up on my history via Beck, Malkin, Ben Franklin, Jefferson so they know the truth.
Our biggest history issue in schools (IMO)are “Progressives”, “Woodrow Wilson”, the “New Deal”, “FDR”, and the “Great Society”, “LBJ”. All have been touted as saviors and heros of America.
Please remember the following:
Any government that is powerful enough to make a hippy rage is powerful enough to make a Christian conservative rage as well.
Solution: Begin the process of getting government **completely** out of the business of education! What is needed is complete separation of **school** and state!
By reducing government to as small as possible, in all areas of our lives, there is less likelihood of government stepping all over the religious, political, and cultural beliefs of the people.
Now...As for this particular case of textbook revision, I support any effort conservatives make to push back on political correctness no matter where it is found,...
BUT..BUT..BUT...If conservatives ever expect to win the culture war they MUST shut down the godless government schools and work to see that every child has access to a thoroughly conservative education that **thoroughly** integrates Judeo-Christian belief and our nation's founding principles into ***every** course and **ALL** school policies.
If conservatives really want the hippies to rage, then COMPLETELY CLOSE DOWN AND PADLOCK THEIR GODLESS TEMPLES OF GOVERNMENT WORSHIP!!! Close the public schools! Permanently! Do that and the Marxists will go nutz!
Just the facts, warts and all!
When the SHTF...

LOL me too!
For folks NOT in Texas this ran WALL TO WALL on hometown Conservative talk radio in Houston. Both AM700 and AM740 had this on for days. It was well publicized and that is a good thing here in Texas, because it scared away the Rats for a while. Just a minor victory and a THANK YOU to all the people that dug in and kept the books conservative. It will impact the rest of the country because Texas leads the way on textbooks and what we decide is what many states just go along with. (I can feel the Rats crying for years because of the textbooks have far less of the liberal slant than they wanted.)

Concentrate on the debt they incurred, and the fact that all of that money has done little to no good.
“I’m going to have my 16 and 13 year old daughters read this. Here in VA I’m constantly having to look over their studies and call to complain. “
By the way, good for you!!
Nope. College Station. And Lubbock isn’t exactly far left.
“And Lubbock isn’t exactly far left.”
This I know ;-)
Texas - What America used to be
As Texas goes, so goes America? Maybe? Possibly? Hopefully?
Samuel Adams letter to James Warren
Date: November 4, 1775
“No people will tamely surrender their Liberties, nor can any
be easily subdued, when knowledge is diffusd and Virtue is
preservd. On the Contrary, when People are universally
ignorant, and debauchd in their Manners, they will sink under
their own weight without the Aid of foreign Invaders.”
You can’t be far off on this prediction. Education by Wikepedia.
This is great news. No wonder Texans are so proud of their state. Are they taking any action, as I understand Virginia has, to opt out of Obamacare if it passes?
“....textbooks will be electronic...”
I’m still new to the Kindle, but the use of this and other IM devices should make it much easier and faster to roll back the revisionism, and reinstitute truth in student textbooks.
Anyway, Go Texas!! Hook ‘em, ‘Horns!! Yaaaaaay!!!
:^)
Now this is a winning quiniela: Mrs Schlafly & Texas.
LOL! I hope he realizes that the term "revisionist" was coined by Stalinists to describe those communists who didn't toe "the party line."
All historians are "revisionist," as the job of the historian is to provide new perspectives on historical facts based upon new or ignored documentation. I think what the writer is trying to say is that those on the left have been trying to push their own socialist interpretation of events on the children of Texas.
