What exactly are Texas School Board members changing in history books?
Is there a comprehensive list of all the changes proposed? I saw on a petition that the Board was proposing more than 100 changes to history books, but it didn’t say what they were. I know that they’re putting in some information about slavery, Christianity, etc, that may not necessarily be accurate, but what else?
greater concentration on conservative resurgence in the 80s 90s
less concentration on latino history-culture
imperialism changed to expansionism. capitalism to free market
changing Joseph McCarthy from a right wing loon looking for communists – to a hero
Marginalizing Jefferson, Nader, and Ross Perot
Included is country and western music as a cultural influence, while hiphop is excluded
Texas Wannabe Al-Qaeda was e-mailing Anwar al-Awlaki
