It’s been skewed for years. Now it’s set straight.
OMG! - A partisan vote!!
How often is a Conservative voice ever heard when it comes to public indoctrination centers?
California should have two sets of textbooks.
One written in Spanglish and the other written in Ebonics.
History can be changed? Why didn’t someone tell me this before the last presidential election?
I’m going to boycott Kali for the rest of my life. That “state” bewilders the bejeezus out of me.
He can't seriously want Hip Hop in there as something of lasting value ~ ?!
Mr. Yee continued “We here in California do not have to stick to the dull old reality. Our children deserve a more creative approach to history. It can be any way we want it, why stick to facts.”

So, Leland baby, how's that multiculturalism working out for ya?
How's your economy these days?
Here in Texas, unermployment is at an all-time high... of about 6%!
If Kalipronia would quit selling out it’s taxpayers with illegals, welfare and environazi cow crap they could afford their own textbooks.......in spanish !
We are a republic, not a democracy is back in the books I am told !
Oh the horror! ;-/
...encouraging students to question the legal doctrine of separation of church and state...
We can't have student questioning things, they need to blindly accept what they're told. Look how well that worked out in Germany in the 1930s.
terms such as "capitalism" replaced with "free market;"
Dang, they're onto us. We need to keep using terms with negative connotations (at least to some) like "capitalism" -- can't let them be associated with "freedom."
labeling civil rights programs that protect women and people of color as having adverse "unintended consequences;"
Because we all know there were no unintended consequences, right? When the government acts, it is with the precision of a surgeon... :-/
...emphasis on "the conservative resurgence of the 1980s and 1990s," including favorable mentions of the Eagle Forum, Moral Majority, Heritage Foundation, the National Rifle Association and New Gingrich´s Contract With America;
Oh no! We know these organizations, love 'em or hate 'em, have no redeeming values and therefore must be demonized according to the current libtard playbook.
more positive portrayal of Cold War anticommunism;
I am an old cold-warrior. You better believe there is a positive note there. To paraphrase odumber: we won.
labeling Confederate General Stonewall Jackson as a role model for effective leadership and a statement from Confederate President Jefferson Davis to accompany a statement from President Abraham Lincoln;
If you cannot let yourself recognize what someone is doing right or successfully, whether you agree with them on issues or not, you limit yourself -- you cannot learn from them. Gen. Jackson, love him or hate him, was very good, very effective. Get over it. Besides, I'm no sure the right side won that one.
to include country and western music among nation´s important cultural movements while dropping hip-hop from the same list.
OK, that one I don't get. Yes, country music is an important influence. I would say hip hop is also.
The problem is that the teachers who sit on Texas textbook committees are often as liberal as this guy. Education colleges are very liberal in their views, and they take intelligent people and turn their brains into mush.
LOL California won’t be able to afford enough text books to demand that makers write them just for them. There is nothing wrong with what Texas is doing everything I’ve read and heard sounds very reasonable to me. Who exactly is it that thinks hiphop belongs in histroy books? *eyeroll* And if Barrack Hussein Obama is not to be listed does that mean that now MLK is just Martin King now? Get a grip people!
This is an EXCELLENT article in that it gives us Conservatives a guide on what to talk to our kids about, such as the adverse effects of the Civil Rights movement, etc.
Senator Leland Yee (PH.D.) represents San Francisco and San Mateo County.
He earned a bachelor’s degree from UC Berkeley, a master’s from San Francisco State University and a Ph.D. in Child Psychology from the University of Hawaii.

Connect the dots
What a joke. As a former curriculum director, I assure you that California has dictated the content of many public school texts for years. Any large state that has statewide textbook adoptions has publishers scrambling to design texts for them. For years California has pulled the textbook market to the left. Now they cry when another state tries to right the ship.
And we all know how well the California Education system is working, I mean they really are putting out highly educated students right. If anyone here ever wastes their time by visiting Mexifornia, assume everyone you meet under 40 is DUMBER THAN DIRT, AND THE PROUDEST MORON YOU WILL EVER MEET. You will be right 90% of the time and never disappointed. I will say this for Publik Skewl Gradjewets, They can put a Condom on a cucumber faster than anyone on the planet, they start teaching Condom Placement in the 2nd grade. Sadly thats all they teach.
Hey California! Design your own textbooks. You’re rolling in the good times. You can afford it!
