Skolestyret i delstaten Texas skal fredag vedta en rekke omstridte endringer i pensum.

En ny generasjon med texanere skal læres opp til å bli konservative, religiøse undermålere. :-\
Ordet slaveri skal fjernes fra historiebøkene og erstattes med eufemismer som atlantisk trekanthandel, naturfag skal erstattes med kreasjonisme, helten McCarthy skal rehabiliteres og hedres, FN skal omtales om en trussel mot amerikaneres frihet... osv.
Vanskelig å si om man skal le eller grine av slikt. Konservativ historieforfalskning, religiøs naturfagsforfalskning og hyllest av gamle fascister. Hurra?
The Land of Simpletons.
The slave trade was in fact the "Atlantic triangular trade". Capitalism, with all its negative connotations, should in future be referred to as the "free enterprise system". And don't even think about buying into the theory of evolution: children must instead be taught that God created Earth using a euphemistically-titled technique known as "intelligent design".
It may sound like the backdrop to a comedy sketch, but these are instead the guiding principles by which teachers in America's second-largest state will be forced to go about the business of education, according to critics of proposed changes to the school curriculum.
