School Books Rewritten in Texas

[KukriKhan]

I don't know how it's in Sweden but schoolbooks are hidiously biased here as well. All hail Gorbatjov for ending the cold war, and Kukri it was really cold of you to butcher each and every Vietnamese village you could find. USA EVIL IS YOU

Kadagar, did it not occur to you that this thread is the same subject as your Swedish article in your thread?

I would've given my left arm for this post to have been mine.

Still in a class of cool all of your own.

Louis, yeah, I don't know what I was thinking..

It is however scary of what media wrote is true, so, is it?

I think it is true, and yes, it is a worrying development. All history is subjective, but there are clear gradations.

One can have the content of schoolbooks be decided by faceless professional bureaucrats, or by lay parents. Both have obvious downsides, dangers. In this Texas case, the danger of the latter is shown.



I somewhat appreciate America's direct democracy. Again, in this thread, an example is shown that I did not even knew existed. Like directly elected law enforment, it can result in peculiar results. But, this is the choice America has made - a staunch attachment to the idea that people should govern themselves directly. As so often, what's good about a country is directly related to what's bad about a country.

A fair critique.
