Just Trading Slaves


 According to an article posted by longtime news media site, "The Huffington Post," some very exiting changes are brewing for all students blessed to be a part of the Texas Public Education system.
Among one of the very few new and exciting editions to the infamous Texas curriculum is the subversion of history.

The ingenious idea of three-term Texas Education board member Charlie Shuster postulates changing the terminology of slavery in history books. Ultimately, they aim to change the "slave trade" to the "Atlantic triangular trade" in all history textbooks of k-12. This may seem like a subtle semnatic argument, but this has grounds to spur further ignorance and ultimate denial of the dark past that once haunted our lovely Texas acres.

Thank you Texas, for taking the nation back 50 years of blood, sweat, and tears.

How much longer will right-wing tea party extremists be allowed to change history in their favor?
Texas has had an unfortunate past in changing textbooks to reflect bias ideology.
I was under the obviously stupid impression that textbooks were created to reflect history and facts, not opinions.

Ultimately this is for certain: The Texas public education system allows for the destruction of truth and the imposition of bias.
