New Texas textbook approach

[regent]

Texas is cutting down on the influence citizens have on the material goes into their school textbooks. Less input from citizens and more from experts is the new approach. Should citizens and their citizen-committees decide what is taught in science, history and so forth, or should it be the scientists and historians? Citizens pay for the textbooks and it is their schools and children or should experts in the fields decide?

For the Texas textbooks? It should be scientists and historians.

You have to make a choice. One cannot jump up and down and panic over test scores in the US and then refuse to allow the subjects to be taught.

Well, we have to remember that one of the STEM subjects is science. Which the last couple of people elected Governor of Texas did not believe in.

Its Texasss who either did or want to take Jefferson out of their text books because he 'didn't do much', isn't important to our history'.

Its Texasss. They take great pride is being stupid.
