You better believe it. I saw a highschool history book from Texas back in the 90's, and it had one paragraph on the Veitnam War. ONE PARAGRAPH on one of the most seminal moments in our country's history.

Texas will be this way until more progressive people take over the state. Unfortunately, Texas is full to the brim of these religious funnymentalists who believe they are correct in their thinking. I've lived here since 1982 with the exception of 7 years spent up in Nebraska, then moved back. I wish I hadn't of moved back as it became even worse down here in those years I was gone. Until we get some of the younger people involved and voting, nothing will change. At this point all we can do is try and stay on top of their idiocy and challenge them at every board meeting.

None of this is new.
I remember watching a Texas School textbook review board meeting on C-Span, like 25 years ago, and they were debating the same issues.
They also voted to embrace non-factual, non-science-based curriculum then, too.
Unless religion is removed from ALL public education, this is going to continue.

A very insightful article. Unfortunately many of our youth will be uninformed. You want them to fall in line and act a certain way then threaten to take away their phones and video games.

Time to call in the Satanic Temple. If there is an angle to exploit, they will find it.

There are investigations and lawsuits. The problem comes when we vote people into positions of power who have a desire to inflict a religious agenda on the nation.

Textbook publishers should refuse to publish such crap. This is disturbing.
