Americans everywhere should applaud the Texas Board of Education action to reconstitute a
more historically accurate -- read open and balanced -- traditional stamp on school
curriculum taught in the Lone Star state.
While that should be good news for all, unfortunately, for some, it is not.
That's because as the second largest buyer of school textbooks Texas has substantial
influence on what content publishers include in study text.
The Texas decision is bad news for naysayers who, apparently, prefer to perpetuate
education curricula that for years has been hobbled by incomplete information. And, many
add, since the early '60s, compromised by skewed interpretation and presentation via
indoctrination orthodoxy.
That reality got the attention of the Texas Board of Education. Two-thirds of it's members
demonstrated they get it. That they understand, left unchecked, public education will
continue to slide. And, if not an abject failure now -- eventually. If not failure
everywhere -- in most locales.
So they voted to take remedial action .
That's good news for all citizens and especially parents who want their children to be
taught subject content compiled with fact-based information; and, presented unfettered by
political slant, fact omission, or outright lies.
The board strategy was not to cut liberal progressive favorites from the curriculum.
Rather, they opted to expand the breath of curricula by including more fact-rooted
information and perspective. That provides students with the opportunity to learn more by
studying others previously excluded from curriculum controlled by entrenched educational
bureaucrats.
As a result, new history and economics textbooks will add two champions of free-market
economic theory: Milton Friedman and Friedrich von Hayek. They will join - not supplant -
the usual list of economists to be studied, like Adam Smith, communist Karl Marx and the
liberal-labeled progressive John Maynard Keynes.
Another revision in economics text: replace the word "capitalism" with the more accurate
descriptor: "free-enterprise system."
In addition, the Texas board approved scores of other amendments in order to improve
accuracy and completeness in several other subjects.
Here are a few examples in American history and sociology:
To counter the idea, conveyed by limited coverage in current schoolbook text, that the
internment of individuals of Japanese decent during World War II was motivated by racism,
the Texas board directed that new textbook content be expanded to accurately point out that
Germans and Italians as well as Japanese were interned in the United States during that
war.
The Texas board was right to also go after another bit of historic folklore that leftists
continue to use in order to perpetuate a conditioning message.
They took note of the limited scope of information in school textbooks about the history of
McCarthyism; and, directed that new textbooks include "how the later release of the Venona
Project transcripts confirmed McCarthy suspicions of communist infiltration in U.S.
Government." Readers, and indeed teachers, who want thorough insight and understanding
about the McCarthy era should read renowned journalist M. Stanton Evans' investigative
masterpiece "Blacklisted by History."
In sociology, the Texas board directed that teaching include "the importance of personal
responsibility"; and, that personal responsibility be included in a textbook section on
life choices, behavior, dating, sexuality, drug use and even as a factor in eating
disorders.
After the 10-5 vote, board member Mary Helen Berlanga accused fellow members of the Board of Education of "rewriting history." Colleague Mavis Knight added, "The social
conservatives have perverted accurate history to fulfill their own agenda."
Those two obvious spin statements aside, again, Americans everywhere should applaud the
action taken by the majority on the Texas School Board. As a result, curriculum in Texas,
and potentially in your state, will be strengthened.
What a concept Texas discovered. Curriculum changes based on fact and truth.
If the Texas School Board did not - the real perversion would continue... skewing American
history and shaping thought to fit an education mold that -- while publicly stamped as
progressive -- is, in fact, regressive; and, arguably, may have been designed to deceive
and mislead young Americans.

(Never mind the facts that prove conservatives and Republicans have always stood for integration and civil rights.) Only african-americans can use such awful language to describe one another.
It is time we showed the world our respect for the

Dear Comrade Rooster ~
Having to consider myself a "Texan", I must DENOUNCE you and take umbrage at your assault upon who dwell or have dwelt within it's broad (on pun intended) borders! You also should remember, Texas gave the collective, the glorious Pres.
Yep, Fraulein, there is Hope. And Change.
You, know, Fraulein Pulloskies, I never thought of it that way. Yes, there is a little hope and change from Texas, and Comrade RR is quite aware of that hope. He just doesn't remember:
This is the pasty former mayor of Houston, and he is our hope as gubernatorial candidate against that Riech Wing Perry.

Yes, Leninka, White is for clean air and we know all the Republipukes are against clear air, don't want jobs and are against educating little children. Comrade White should win easily!
