Texas Approves Conservative Curriculum

Macharius writes "Today, the Texas Board of Education approved 11-4 a social studies curriculum that will put a conservative stamp on history and economics textbooks, stressing the role of Christianity in American history and presenting Republican political philosophies in a more positive light. The article goes on to mention that Texas's textbook approvals carry less influence than they used to due to digital localization technology, but is that even measurable given how many millions of these textbooks will still be used across the country?"

but probably franklin would just prefer to open windows on both ends of the long hall in his mansion, and just sit in the middle on a stool naked, as he sometimes preferred to do.

So did he exhibit this behavior before or after he got struck by lightning, while flying a kite in a thunderstorm?

Actually, I believe that the US politicians need to return to the values of the Founding Fathers, and this provides an excellent role model. Obama could get the ball rolling with a nude cabinet meeting. I am sure the health care debates would be much more amusing if the members of Congress were required to perform in the buff.

"With affordable health care, the Honorable Gentleman Senator of Michigan could be able to remove that hairy wart from his ass."

"I think it is irresponsible for the US taxpayers to be required to pay to lift those sagging tits of the Honorable Lady Senator of Virginia."

Yes, it would be definitely much more entertaining.

"If you are serious about health care reform, shed your clothes, and belly on up to the podium.

Any "Christian" who says they are better than a non-Christian isn't a Christian

Look up the "No True Scotsman" fallacy.

I'm actually touring Central America this summer.

I just went to Panama and a smidge of Costa Rica, see my blog. Parts of Panama are quite nice. Seriously thinking about moving near Santa Fe in Veraguas.
