Texas State Board of Education -- Social Studies Hearing

The Texas State Board of Education got an earful on a hectic final day of public testimony before their controversial vote on new social studies standards. While the board heard a stern rebuke from educators and citizens in the hearing room, state lawmakers and national civil rights leaders spoke to a raucous crowd of more than 300 people at a rally on the steps of the Texas Education Agency. The message inside and outside was the same: let teachers and scholars determine what our children learn in the classroom, not politicians pushing an agenda.

History is written by the victors.

If right-wing extremism wins, and it has, then prepare for you children to get a nice decent fascist brainwashing in school. This is just another step in the relentless march towards the abyss.

Freedom is slavery. War is peace. Ignorance is strength.

Its about the government deleting the truth in books or just burning books so that they don't exist!!!!

So sorry I couldn't have been there yesterday. I was planning on coming but other things came up. Needless to say I was there in spirit and thinking of you guys out there fighting the good fight for our Texas schoolchildren and it makes me proud to be a Texan once again.

Thanks so much for posting this, and keep up the good work! With idiots like Perry in charge of Texas, however, I think you have a massive up-hill battle on your hands. Here's to your success!
