There is a lot of controversy about the Texas Board of Education. This board is made up of ultra-right wing, conservative Republican religious zealots who approve what will appear in public school history and other textbooks across the enormous state of Texas. As if that isn't bad enough, due to the cost of publishing textbooks , the right-wing propaganda, lies and half-truths they tend to rubber stamp gets into the hands and impressionable minds of public school students in many states, perhaps across much of the nation. So, instead of educating students, they are proseletyzing their flawed fundamentalist Christian worldview and are propagating ignorance upon the student populace. They are sneaking phony propaganda like so-called "Intelligent Design" instead of evolution and are making heroes out of such villains as Joseph McCarthy who was infamous for McCarthyism. Next thing you know, our students will be a bunch of ignorant bigots in the mold of Anne Coulter and Rush Limburger. I am against Nazi book-burning, but these Texas textbooks are only good for lining birdcages. The right-wing propaganda machine cannot spread their BS legitimately, so as usual they will stoop to anything to deceive the people; even young school children.
