The Texas Textbook Massacre

Ultraconservatives in Texas have approved radical changes to state educational curriculum. In a shameless attempt to infiltrate their agenda in the classroom they have decided to effectively:

  • Erase the late U.S. Sen. Ted Kennedy
  • Glorify President Ronald Reagan
  • Require students follow conservative leaders and organizations such as the National Rifle Association, the Heritage Foundation, and Moral Majority
  • Minimize minority leaders such as Cesar Chavez and Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall
  • Teach that the United Nations threatens U.S. liberty, freedom and sovereignty
  • Portray the country as a "Constitutional Republic" and NOT a "Democracy"
  • Eliminate separation of Church and State

Sign the petition urging the textbook publisher to stop production on this conservative manifesto
