for political posturing of course random thoughts Send a noteboard - 16/03/2010 05:26:13 PM
My opinion of this from the beginning was that it was another ones of those "look what the evil republicans are doing" issues. You know just another way to call the other side fucking disgusting without breaking any civility rules. Only right wing assholes like myself would be rude enough to just say it straight out.

But as far as how this will affect students I would say it is minimal. There was an argument to be made about Texas fighting putting evolution in science books but I see this as a non-issue.

"Impartial Historical Account" is an oxymoron Isaac - 13/03/2010 12:21:20 AM 419 Views
Exactly, no such thing as "Impartial" history Brian - 13/03/2010 12:54:49 AM 314 Views
So is "a sinless life," but that doesn't justify murder. *NM* Ghavrel - 14/03/2010 12:22:16 AM 140 Views
Strange choice of analogies... Isaac - 14/03/2010 12:17:03 PM 327 Views
I could be wrong, but I think his point was simply... Legolas - 14/03/2010 03:53:23 PM 404 Views
I think it was that it just seems too out of place Isaac - 14/03/2010 04:14:55 PM 446 Views
I dunno, you didn't elaborate much on your oxymoron statement. Legolas - 14/03/2010 04:29:04 PM 429 Views
It didn't really seem something that needed elaborating Isaac - 14/03/2010 05:20:33 PM 482 Views

Don't forget interned German-Americans in BOTH world wars. *NM* Macharius - 13/03/2010 02:47:25 AM 263 Views
Oh I haven't, but being Italian myself it's an issue close to my heart. *NM* Dragonsoul - 13/03/2010 04:41:19 AM 214 Views

Many of those subjects are relevant school topics. *shrugs* *NM* everynametaken - 13/03/2010 04:43:41 AM 226 Views
Yes, because this article is all about presenting the truth in an unbiased manner *NM* AgentOrange - 13/03/2010 11:02:20 AM 139 Views
I'm assuming Art. 11 of the Treaty of Tripoli 1797 is banned from Texan history lessons, then? Tim - 13/03/2010 12:26:41 PM 368 Views
And, along similar lines, both Article VII of the US Constitution and Missouri v. Holland. *NM* Ghavrel - 14/03/2010 12:26:10 AM 146 Views
I assume you mean Article VI? Tim - 14/03/2010 10:32:36 AM 340 Views
Yes. It's not a very good ruling. *NM* Ghavrel - 14/03/2010 10:51:55 PM 145 Views
I would assume the Treaty of Tripoli 1797 would outside of the scope of a Texas history lesson random thoughts - 16/03/2010 07:54:53 PM 390 Views
Do the states just teach their own history, as opposed to that of what-was-then-the-USA? *NM* Tim - 16/03/2010 11:57:06 PM 214 Views
They teach both...at least at the college level. U.S. history and Texas History were requirements.. *NM* Brian - 17/03/2010 05:38:46 AM 216 Views
Texas history or Texas government? random thoughts - 18/03/2010 06:53:15 PM 294 Views
Good question....I don't remember if it was history or govt to be honest. *NM* Brian - 18/03/2010 07:59:10 PM 225 Views
In Texas they make you take Texas history in the 7th grade random thoughts - 18/03/2010 07:26:13 PM 365 Views
A fascinating thing, culture wars. Legolas - 14/03/2010 04:16:35 PM 494 Views
When does revisionist history descend to the level of mere hypocrisy? I weep for my country. Joel - 15/03/2010 04:16:25 AM 533 Views
calling Zavala a city is a bit of a stretch don't you think? random thoughts - 15/03/2010 05:39:03 PM 398 Views
Seguin's a city, or at least town; Zavala is a county. Joel - 15/03/2010 09:00:54 PM 348 Views
Pfft, Seguin is a dump. Brian - 15/03/2010 09:11:09 PM 324 Views
Not the point! Joel - 15/03/2010 09:30:19 PM 324 Views
Zavalla is a town as well and city is a bit of stretch for Seguin random thoughts - 15/03/2010 10:23:41 PM 302 Views
Fair enough, just trying to make clear I was speaking about municipality and county, respectively. Joel - 29/03/2010 03:49:30 PM 330 Views
See the problem is the argument is total BS random thoughts - 29/03/2010 05:27:53 PM 369 Views
Dunno if I'd go that far. Joel - 29/03/2010 08:50:40 PM 466 Views

Don't you guys essentially list all of the handful guys who fought at the Alamo already, anyway? *NM* Legolas - 29/03/2010 08:55:34 PM 138 Views
There was 190 or so people there so no they are not all in the textbook random thoughts - 31/03/2010 05:31:41 PM 381 Views
Based on this article it is worryingly political snoopcester - 15/03/2010 11:46:53 AM 315 Views
Do you have any examples of where they are not teaching the truth? random thoughts - 15/03/2010 05:42:27 PM 346 Views
I think it is what they are leaving out that is worrisome. Beqi - 15/03/2010 06:58:38 PM 359 Views
I don't see anything sayting they are leaving that out random thoughts - 15/03/2010 08:26:50 PM 351 Views
