Despite devaluation, Argentina logs $160 million trade deficit in Macri's first full month in office

A few years ago, after ongoing criticism that, as mayor of Buenos Aires, Macri was starving public education of funding (by spending no more than 60% of the education budget they city's own legislature passed), he reacted by having the city publish a "Pocket Guide to Argentine History" for the city's public grade schoolers.

The gimmick might have gone unnoticed, or even earned him a few brownie points, until teachers noticed something very striking about the booklets:

The only presidents it mentioned, were the former military dictators (and in glowing terms).

Macri had the booklets recalled before it snowballed into a major scandal, and claimed the content was the result of "a misprint."

Didn't Texas try that recently when teachers blew the whistle on textbooks that whitewashed slavery?
