Texas Senate Votes to Remove Required Lessons on Civil Rights

[634-5789]

3rd World shithole, --wait---Sorry, that's TEXAS I'm talking about...MY BAD!


The GQP "Rednecks is us'ns" Texas Senate on Friday passed legislation that would end requirements that public schools include writings on women’s suffrage and the civil rights movement in social studies classes.

Among the figures whose works would be dropped: Susan B. Anthony, Cesar Chavez, and Martin Luther King Jr., whose “I Have a Dream"speech and “Letter from a Birmingham Jail” would no longer make the curriculum cut.

It would remove more than two dozen teaching requirements from a new law (H.B 3979) that bars the teaching of critical race theory, an academic framework exploring racism’s shaping of the country.

7. Note to the wingnut Uneducated: You believe in "brainwashing" - but schools don't teach much.

Wingnuts really think kids really soak up whatever is spewed at them in school. Uh...

I've learned more from The University of YouTube over the past few years than I ever did with two degrees. True stuff, not targeted ideological stuff.
