I (and my children) try to keep a close eye on what the grandchildren are being taught. When my oldest grandson was given the anti-war position in a debate AFTER THE WAR HAD STARTED, my daughter just flat told them that he would not participate, since the war had started and he had an uncle in Kuwait. The debate did go on, but the anti-war side was not enthusiastic.

This took place at a school with a family connection to Johnny Mike Spann - cousin's wife is a teacher. Another teacher's son was in Afghanistan. This was an English class, not history.

This grandson is in 7th grade now. In Texas, all 7th graders take Texas History. I have already forewarned him to watch out/beware of any info about Atzlan/MeCha.

Good for you.When we have troops in harm's way there can be no "other side"!I know there is a political correctness slant more than in times past in the teaching of Texas history.
