>>Been vetting and making Perry a better governor for years.
Well, who "vetted" Thomas Jefferson out of the Texas school curriculum?
If that's the kind of "vetting" the rest of the American Republic can expect from the supporters of Señor Rick then....
NO SALE.
Although Jefferson had been listed in a World History standard, the board removed his name from a list of European Enlightenment philosophers that included John Locke, Thomas Hobbes, Voltaire, Charles de Montesquieu and Jean Jacques Rousseau.
This was inappropriate placement of Jeffersons name, said Lowe of the World History proposal. Jefferson was not himself an Enlightenment philosopher, although he was heavily influenced by the writings of these individuals. But to say the State Board of Education has removed him from the TEKS is inaccurate and irresponsible, said Lowe.
The Texas Governor appoints the TEA head but, not the individual members.
Pinning whatever to Perry in this case, is ludicrous.
