I am concerned, very concerned.
The news of a Texas School Board commission here in the United States reviewing textbooks with an eye to making changes is always a concern, but never more so than today.
The publishing industry for textbooks used across the country is centered in that state, and now this commission, which is heavily Christian biased, is working on re-writing our history.
In reading the article linked below several things stand out, especially regarding the early history of our country. They wish to change our view of the founding fathers because Thomas Jefferson was a deist and not Christian. Instead he would be replaced with Catholic and Puritan theologians. They would have us believe that this country was founded on Christian beliefs alone and nothing more. What crap! Remember folks, we had slavery here because the Bible said it was OK. More crap.
For a long time I have railed about the texts currently used in home schooling children which leaves out important facts like Darwin and substitutes the Christian revisionist views. I don't believe their diplomas are worth the paper they are printed on. And now this Texas bunch is determined to brainwash the rest of our society. We need our own save the children program.
This is not a conspiracy theory, it seems very real to me. The Christians have been biding their time and unless school systems across the nation reject such changes our true history is doomed to oblivion. See what you think:
