I'm so happy I graduated grade school. Looks like Texas still doesn't understand the term "separation between church and state".
Actually, I do believe because Jefferson said that that they want to get rid of him in the books. of course, I heard that part from Colbert so I don't know how legit it is.
I never thought my textbook was liberal based at all.
According to you, Ulti.
I think all bias should be removed from history textbooks. It's supposed to be looked at from a neutral stand-point.
Ah yes, but where are you going to find a neutral editor? Everyone has an opinion and thus, is biased.
Maybe get actual historians to write textbooks instead of having textbooks copy off one another and make America into some god-blessed holier than thou myth. Both liberals and conservatives are bad in this.
Thing is, if you want someone that's really neutral to do it, you're best bet is a foreign historian that studied american history. And can you honestly tell me that there won't be asshats who object to their kids being taught their own history by a book of foreign origin and doing something shitty like this again?
