Fuck Texas.
Look at the statistics. One out of three students don't graduate anyway. Instead of working on keeping the kids in school, conservatards want to turn it into propaganda for the few that are left.
Four out of ten drop outs end up on Public Aid.
Conservatives are like Midas. Only everything THEY touch turns to shit.
For years, other states bought their textbooks from Texas, an important source of revenue for the state. Now that's gonna stop. So, not only won't their own kids use the books, kids from other states won't either. Smart. Another example of "conservative logic".

Don't live there. You don't have be their and you definately don't have the right to decide how other people's children are raised. Simply mind your own business and demand that the local schools teach what you think should be taught and leave everyone else to their own devices. CAn you handle that?
that would be fine, if this wasn't going to effect the nation. I mean, using your logic, why don't all the right wing people that disagree with the direction our nation is going just leave, since you know, they don't have to be there and they don't have a right to tell us how to raise our children. Sound stupid? Yea that's because it fucking is.
the fact of the matter is, with texas' large population, their school system and the resources they use are a model for many other states, which will either be forced to adopt these new standards (which are not FEDERALLY approved or even approved by every effected state), or begin to purchase from other, potentially more expensive or less accessible sources. Either way, they should have informed neighboring and partner states earlier rather than later, so that they could prepare in advance to change education providers, not have to decide long after many schools have already prepared next years budget.
Let me get this straight. In order for you to have the right to teach your kids the way you want other people, living in different states, have to give up their right teach their kids the way they want to. Doesn't that seem a little selfish?
