You can ban history but never erase it

The new Texas Seanate Bill 3 states that public school educators must teach "the history of white supremacy" including slavery, the Ku Klux Klan, and ways in which the white supremacist hate group was "morally wrong."

Because prejudice, discrimination and murder isn't a moral problem. It's a lifestyle choice.

That bill, and IMO, the entire Texas legislature that wrote it is screwed up big time.

Are you sure you characterized it right?

@MistyCee It was included in the bill oh, but the portion that was passed on to the Senate has glaring admissions, this among them. That's how I read it.

@Graylight I read the bills earlier and I wish I hadn't. I either posted or replied about it here.

Regardless of what's being picked to include or exclude, imo, the legislature ought to be more general and let professional educators define the curriculum. Telling them what documents must be included isn't much better than telling them what documents can't.
