Texas Textbook Massacre


The Texas Textbook Massacre

Ultraconservatives in Texas have approved radical changes to state educational curriculum. In a shameless attempt to infiltrate their agenda in the classroom they have decided to effectively:

* Erase the late U.S. Sen. Ted Kennedy

* Glorify President Ronald Reagan

* Require students follow conservative leaders and organizations such as the National Rifle Association, the Heritage Foundation, and Moral Majority

* Minimize minority leaders such as Cesar Chavez and Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall

* Teach that the United Nations threatens U.S. liberty, freedom and sovereignty

* Portray the country as a "Constitutional Republic" and NOT a "Democracy"

* Eliminate separation of Church and State

The changes inject far-right conservative ideals into social studies, history and economics lessons that will be taught to millions of students for the next decade. Texas is one of the biggest textbook purchasers in the country; the new "whitewashed" standards could end up indoctrinating children across the country with a lesson about conservative ideology rather than real American history.
