"Thats because many California textbooks will no longer feature pictures of hot dogs, sodas, cakes, butter and other kinds of food that are not considered nutritious."
LOL This just goes to show how nutty the left really is.

I think I have a headache.
In a few years time, if the liberals have their way, our history will be nothing but pap. Our children will become even more ignorant than they are now and those of us that remember or know the truth will be branded outcasts for our knowledge. Heck by that time, we'll probably be put in re-education centers. Mustn't have contrary information getting to the youth of America, don'tcha know?
Revisionist history is nothing new, but now it seems to becoming to the front more and more often. They are following the oldest rule in the liars handbook, "If you repeat something, anything, often enough, it becomes the truth.".
When I have children, you can bet your boots that I will be homeschooling.

Kind of like Japanese textbook coverage of their history 1935-45. Guess it didn't happen Did you see the news from Japan recently? They elected a TRANSGENDER to their government! SanFran must be green with envy.

No, just Washington. Boy, you are hard case. Even Jefferson doesn't make your cut. Guess he was just another big govt. statist, what with that Constitution and Declaration of Independance stuff. How dare he try to further any sort of government.

"I think our textbooks should to our greatest capacity be free of any type of stereotyping," said Sue Stickel, deputy superintendent for curriculum and instruction for the California Department of Education (search). "We need to make sure that all ethnicities are represented. We need to make sure that both males and females are represented. We need to make sure that our materials cover the full gamut."Political Correct Policewoman it appears!!!!

Jefferson was a sell-out to the Anti-Federalist cause and promptly got the US into a war when he became President.
Love his writing though. He theorized about government well, he just had few political instincts, or business instincts for that matter, from what I have read.

Got kids?
Go ahead and take a look at their textbooks (I don't care what state you are in) and see how many (if any) white male children are pictured, either in photos or drawings.
The scumbag liberals have destroyed this once proud nation, and now they are stomping on its skull. If you truly love your children you will get them out of the public schools tomorrow.
Run, don't walk.
To: zlala
I guess this school district doesn't call it's 12th grade students 'seniors' because it's so demeaning. Just think how the 11th grade student's feel if they're still referred to as 'juniors'. Just disgraceful! too late.......My college went to "first-year students" through "Fourth-Year students". The term "freshmen" is demeaning to women, don't you know.
At the time (10 years ago) the kids pretty much ignored this PC BS. Not sure what's going on today......
