From the link:

– To avoid exposing students to “transvestites, transsexuals and who knows what else,” the Board struck the curriculum’s reference to “sex and gender as social constructs.”

I believe that. They don't want sexual politics pushed on their kids.

– The Board removed Thomas Jefferson from the Texas curriculum, “replacing him with religious right icon John Calvin.”

I do not believe that, AT ALL. Texas conservatives would not remove Jefferson or any Founder. Think Progress would because the Founders conflict with their Marxist agenda.

– The Board refused to require that “students learn that the Constitution prevents the U.S. government from promoting one religion over all others.”

Nope. I smell spin here. It's probably that they want to continue to teach that they have the freedom to be fundy Zio 'Christians', while Think Progress wants that stamped out.

– The Board struck the word “democratic” from the description of the U.S. government, instead terming it a “constitutional republic.”

The Founders created a constitutional republic, not a democracy. Think Progress is objecting to the truth.


I can't stand these bible thumping Zio 'Christians' but I can't stand Marxists even more. That's what this really about - traditional Texans vs. Marxists.
