As if Texans weren’t generally conservative enough, now they will be indoctrinated in the public schools.
AUSTIN, Tex. — After three days of turbulent meetings, the Texas Board of Education on Friday approved a social studies curriculum that will put a conservative stamp on history and economics textbooks, stressing the superiority of American capitalism, questioning the Founding Fathers’ commitment to a purely secular government and presenting Republican political philosophies in a more positive light.
The vote was 10 to 5 along party lines, with all the Republicans on the board voting for it.
I suggest the rest of the country adopt textbooks that equate electing presidents from Texas with starting expensive land wars in Asia that cannot be won. Yeah, I know that Truman was from Missouri, by why stick with the facts?
Optional: teach students that all the Founding Fathers were into voodoo.
