Textbook Wars

Wow... It's hard to believe things like this are real.  That people are really like that.  That's why people hate Americans.  They think we're all conservative.  Well that's where they're wrong.  And I know one thing for sure... my kids won't be going to school in Texas! 

Haha these a-holes have been fighting for as long as we can remember.  It doesn't matter which you are really, as long as you are a good and ethical person.  But for the most part, Republicans suck.  That's right, I said it.  And I'm a journalist, so get used to it.  But in all seriousness, this is crazy!  They want to erase American history with fairy tales because they tell nicer? ***************************************
 Let's just play Disney movies in history class instead.   Man people like this get my blood boiling.  I guess we will have to be responsible for our own children's education and make sure they know the truth. Or move to Canada ;)

What is happening in Texas shows that history has probably always been skewed by people like this.  Zinn showed us that the history we all learned about in high school wasn't all there.  It was...changed.  It told nicer.  If this keeps happening, before we know it none of us will be able to remember the truth.  That's what they want. Brainwashing.  Okay, maybe that's a little cynical, but really? Our history is already told nicer than it actually happened, they shouldn't make it any worse.  This is just a case of a bunch of red necks with POWER DOMINANCE over people with actual brains.  I don't think all conservatives would agree with what they are doing, but it's acts like this that give them a bad name.  It might be stereotypical but so is everything.  They will never agree with each other.  But one thing we all should agree on is that this is a BAD idea.  I'm not going to lie to my children.  Are you?

Until next time,
