[quote]Education officials in the US state of Texas have adopted new guidelines to the school curriculum which critics say will politicise teaching.
The changes include teaching that the United Nations could be a threat to American freedom, and that the Founding Fathers may not have intended a complete separation of church and state.
Critics say the changes are ideological and distort history, but proponents argue they are redressing a long-standing liberal bias in education.
Analysts say Texas, with five million schoolchildren, wields substantial influence on school curriculums across the US.
The BBC's Rajesh Mirchandani in Los Angeles says publishers of texbooks used nationally often print what Texas wants to teach[/quote]
bye Isaac Newton
Really? Wow. Another reason to move out of this shitty state, especially when you have to pay school tax to support bullshit like this even if you aren't in school/have kids in school.
I think we have another thread on this.
We need a link of the article or official source that states this.
What are the new standards...

Do you have any fucking idea what is going on?
Basically, TEA (Texas Education Agency) is adding a whole bunch of bullshit and taking out shit that's actually important to textbooks.
[i]NOTHING[/i] to do with taxes whatsoever.

This will only bend the truth and "corrupt" our future generations. Being sheltered from things that have happened only leads to repetition. Pupils deserve to know the cold hard facts no how disturbing they are. This way everyone can formulate opinions instead of being led along this stupid leash. Essentially they are feeding us bullshit. I mean seriously, why change "Trans-Atlantic slave trade" to "Atlantic triangular trade"? Because it is politically correct? Bullshit, they traded slaves and there is no sense in even attempting to hide it.
This isn't just Texas, half the fucking country will be forcibly indoctrinated with this right wing bullshit. Fuck Texas. Stupid, ignorant hillbillies.
Solution,
Remove the government from the selection of school curriculum.
Can't the federal government do something about it if it's unconstitutional?

Also fucking sell Texas to Mexico already. Nobody even wants them in the Union.
[QUOTE=Fenriswolf;22094886]Wow way to stereotype.[/QUOTE]
They're supporting a plan that forcibly indoctrinates their kids with religious right-wing views through public education funded by taxpayers. In the process eliminating knowledge of anyone that didn't agree with them. Yes, they are stupid and ignorant hillbillies. :colbert:
