 History may be getting an overhaul in Texas as the State Board of Education is set to vote on new curriculum standards. The new guidelines are splitting the state between those who say conservative politicians are trying to indoctrinate students and others who say it's about time the state removed the liberal bias that they see in books. You've created a hornet's nest like I've never seen here. A bunch of lay citizens on the State Board of Education and we want to make sure that our children have taught good, solid American history and I think we're in step with most of the majority of Americans. If you want to control and shape the politics of a state, controlling and shaping what students learn in public schools from age 5 through age 18 is a really, really smart strategy. Our religion says that we're all creating the image of God and because every little child is created in the image of God, I want to see that they have the best opportunity possible. The high school classroom is no place to fight the culture wars. What you are discussing now is whether you will teach the denigration of evolution, which is a long time creationist strategy to promote creationism through the back door. Education once again! I like to believe we are living today in the spirit of the Christian religion governed by Christian principles. It will change the face of our state for decades to come, it matters. We have taken on the far left on the last several years and we have won. We are turning education in a vastly different direction, so thank you.
