A Better Term for the students than Propaganda? How about LIES!!!
-
Propagana has absolutely no positive or negative meaning on its own. It's how its used that creates a positive or negative meaning. Why is that woman even teaching? I learned about propganda and how its used when i was in middle school in Iowa. How stupid are texans when an 8th student in iowa knows more about the definition of propaganda than a Texas school teacher/schoolboard member

Oh, for christ's sake, these freaking hillbillies are on my last nerve! It WAS imperialism, like it or not! Calling it "expansionism" doesn't change the fact, and THAT'S what history books are supposed to teach, THE FACTS. And propaganda is not a positive or negative word; words have no such meaning. It's the context in which they're used that displays intent. Dumbass rednecks don't get that.

How ironic that they should cut out the word propaganda out of THEIR propaganda...
As a History major, I am completely and utterly outraged.

WTF....whatever happened to you know teaching History....the Good/Bad/Ugly side of American history...heck even the world.
its like Germany debating whether they should use the world 'holocaust' 2 teach their students about history.
Now I know why many in the South is so ignorant of their own history!

Because when Texas schoolkids read about how most of the country was taken from the native Americans by theft, war, plague blankets, and treaties/promises made then broken, they should hear it in a way that allows them to still feel good about the way the west was won. Because junior should only think it was a series of rodeo challenges and a lot of Thanksgiving turkey dinners.
SHO NUFF.
Texas, please make good on your threat to secede!
Texas, where history gets made up.

Propaganda is propaganda regardless of what you call it. In fact it's more likely to be propaganda if you use another term for it...
I'd be interested in knowing what that part of the text was even referring to. Was she offended about something being called propaganda or does she just find the word itself offensive?
