Sunday Talk - Don't Know Much About History
Friday morning the Texas Board of Education voted to approve changing the state's social studies curriculum to make it more closely reflect the views of God's Own Party. Among the changes are:
- Replacing the heathen, Thomas Jefferson, with theologian John Calvin;
- Tearing down the wall between church and state;
- Rejecting "capitalism" in favor of the "free-enterprise system"; and
- Prohibiting discussion of "transvestites, transsexuals and who knows what else."
Given Texas' influence on the national textbook market, you're probably better off home-schooling your kids. Or not.
