It's bad enough that the idiots on the Texas school board want to redefine science and ignore the evidence for common ancestry and evolution, now they are rewriting American history too.
Last week they passed new standards that downplay the role of Thomas Jefferson and also imply that our Founding Fathers were mainly strict Christians. There is much evidence that this just ain't so, but they want to rewrite history to suit their agenda.
Last month The New York Times published a good article about How Christian Were the Founders? that also describes the incompetence of the Texas school board in making decisions on subjects they know nothing about.
Because of the way the market works, since Texas is so big (as they are so proud of) the textbooks made to Texan standards end up being used by schoolchildren in other states too. Shame on Texas for dumbing down America!
