Texas schools board rewrites US history with lessons promoting God and guns

One of the (many) problems with the Texas School Board decision is that there is one board that makes textbook decisions for the whole state.  That's a lot of books, so if they make a change in a book to suit their needs, it changes for the rest of the country.  Book publishers are reluctant to make different editions for different states.


From the article:

US Christian conservatives drop references to slave trade and sideline Thomas Jefferson who backed church-state separation

...

The board is to vote on a sweeping purge of alleged liberal bias in Texas school textbooks in favour of what Dunbar says really matters: a belief in America as a nation chosen by God as a beacon to the world, and free enterprise as the cornerstone of liberty and democracy.

They just don't get it. . .
