Read about the "radical" changes to the social studies curriculum the Texas legislature voted to implement.

Sweetness and Light  "Texas schoolchildren will be required to learn that the words "separation of church and state" aren’t in the Constitution and evaluate whether the United Nations undermines U.S. sovereignty under new social studies curriculum." Those who depend on the mainstream media for information and opinion will be encouraged to feel outraged over this. H/t to Neal Boortz. Texas, please save us from this kind of stuff:  Saudi-funded textbooks being used in America's K-12 classrooms: "For instance, did you know that Muslims discovered America? Or that Jerusalem is an Arab city? That's just some of the "history" that students in America's K-12 classrooms have been taught in recent years--with the help of taxpayer money."...."One book ignored the Jewish roots of Christianity, saying the faith was founded by a "young Palestinian" named Jesus. Another stated as fact that the Koran was revealed to Mohammed from God. Yet another said ancient Jewish civilization contributed "very little" to to the arts and sciences. Textbooks like these are used by millions of schoolchildren in all 50 states.[...]"
