This week if you have not been following the news the Texas State Board of Education has been deciding what makes it into our school text books. Since Texas is the largest supplier of text books in the nation, parents should be following this story VERY closely. Now if you followed the main stream media you would think that the "Religious far right" has some how corrupted our children's text books. It's up to you to be the judge here.
From now on this is what the schools will be teaching.
Teachers in Texas will be required to cover the Judeo-Christian influences of the nation's Founding Fathers, but not highlight the philosophical rationale for the separation of church and state. Curriculum standards also will describe the U.S. government as a "constitutional republic," rather than "democratic," and students will be required to study the decline in value of the U.S. dollar, including the abandonment of the gold standard.
"American exceptionalism" and the U.S. free enterprise system, suggesting it thrives best absent excessive government intervention.
The origins of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and its impact on global politics."
Former Israeli Prime Minister Golda Meir.
A reference to the Second Amendment right to bear arms in a section about citizenship in a U.S. government class.
Is this what you want your children to be learning? The left doesn't want this. Why? Is teaching the truth really that bad?
In the last few years I have become an advocate for private schools or home schooling. The Government is WAY TO FAR into our school system and teaching our children nonsense.
Now I know a lot of people do not like Glenn beck but EVERY American and especially PARENTS should watch this.
