I remember when Bush rolled out standardized testing in the No Child left behind program.

They had a teacher on TV complaining they were going to have to cut back on social studies and focus more on reading and arithmetic because that’s what the test required.

And I thought, “Good, more important that the kids can read and do math than that they have social studies.”

I feel the same way about this. American history is more important than Texas history. I just hope they are teach real American history and the values that drove that history. And not some leftists revisionist dream.

Real history hasn’t been taught in most of the US for a long time.

“I feel the same way about this. American history is more important than Texas history. “

Bullshit. And it’s a false choice. There are about a dozen things that could be eliminated. Texas history is critical to making good citizens.
