Texas & Education (Part 1 of…?)
I really want to comment on what’s just happened in Texas, but I’m not sure where to start. For the moment, let me just point out a couple of webpages about the Texas schoolboard curriculum decisions:

I want to come back to this, but I’ll have to pick just a few items to deal with, given the scale of the politically-motivated wrongness of all of these decisions. The changes covered include a whole range of massive historical revisions from the merely stupid to the utterly absurd. If you read through these and want any in particular covered, leave a comment, and I’ll pick a few to research in depth.

The gold standard issue would be kind of interesting, since I usually think of that as more of a lunatic fringe issue (whereas obsessions with socialism or advocating Christian-centric dates strike me as more normal habits of conservative activists).
