Texas School Board Controls U.S. Education … Great!

If you wonder why our schools are inundated with dumbed-down curricula, consider the outsize influence that the Texas state board of education exerts nationwide on school textbooks. Because it’s such a huge state, the guidelines adopted by the Texans have a big impact on what textbook publishers put in their textbooks. This is the school board that regularly puts the theory of evolution on trial. One board member, Cynthia Dunbar, wrote a book in which she described public schools as a “subtly deceptive tool of perversion.” Wow! My high school was never that fun. See, these folks aren’t just opposed to anything written after 1755, they actively HATE schools! I mean, who else would you want on your school board? It’s Southern logic at its best.
