Texas Kicks Out Liberal Bias From Textbooks

The textbook companies can delay all of this to January. Then a liberal Republican named Ratliff will succeed the conservative Don McLeroy on the board, and the liberals can reverse the vote. The Democrats may also pick up a SBOE seat.

[Theodore R.]

The college textbooks continue to stonewall the Venona papers. People in charge were taught that McCarthy was “bad”, and nothing can change their minds.

[Theodore R.]

Nathan Hale and John Paul Jones have long been eliminated from the history texts. Liberals “know best”, and they will still prevail somehow.

God bless Texas!!

Well, that is just redundant.

[SuziQ]

The above statement is an understatement since the real transcripts show that McCarthy was radically underestimating the real commie infiltration.

Yeah, but at least it's a start.

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.

And in the states so inclined it will aid in the rewriting of history and the presentation of politically correct agendas. It'll cut both ways.

Eventually, some states will pull ahead of others in the quality of education, barring overbearing Federal interference...which is a very real possibility, especially given a national teachers union.

If you ever want to see a soiled community, look for a major university. It never fails!

Texas A&M might be an exception that otherwise proves the rule.

AMEN!!!
