Eh?
At least we can agree on one thing: let’s not rewrite history.
But that appears to be all that the right-wing members on the Texas State Board of Education want to do. We’ve already been through this once with the Texas science standards last year, and now they want to use our social studies classes as the newest platform to push their agenda.
It all began when the board selected well-known Religious Right activists to sit on the six-member social studies curriculum review panel: David Barton of Wallbuilders and Peter Marshall of Peter Marshall Ministries. Barton, who has no credentials as a historian, runs a propaganda organization that issues a steady stream of books, videos, DVDs, pamphlets and other materials designed to “prove” the United States was founded to be Christian country.
