Good 'ol lone Star state ...

True to form, Texas is firing teachers and principals for including the wrong ideas. A fourth grade teacher was reprimanded for including a child's fiction book that included slavery. "This book is anti-racist." was the reason.
Academic freedom ends at the classroom door, in Texas! Park your human rights in Oklahoma!

I'm sure there were good people on both sides.

@Mamapolo2016 I'm being ironic and making a reference to something Trump said.

I know you think I'm an over opinionated sarcastic arse and tbh there is some truth in that. But no, I don't support the holocaust or think it should be debated like this.
@Burnley123 I don't have as bad an opinion of you as you think ... but you scared me with that one.

@Mamapolo2016 Thank you. 👍

@QuixoticSoul it is in my family. And in Texas! Why underestimate the fascists?

Have what -- Mein Kampf? Actually, it should be available in the school library as well. As long as the instruction that goes with it provides context for both.

@dancingtongue with the current level of critical thinking that goes, that's probably a bad idea lol

@ozgirl512 I agree. But I was speaking in ideal educational climates.

@dancingtongue valid research under control

@Mamapolo2016 Not a lot of engaging brain before mouth...
@ozgirl512 I didn't realize the amoeba problem was so wide-spread:

"Texas Governor Greg Abbott issued a state of emergency on Sunday, September 27, 2020, for Houston area Brazoria County. Governor Abbott declared the state of emergency after deadly brain-eating amoeba was found in the water supply of Lake Jackson, a city in Brazoria County."
