The Tex Book Case

There’s a new assassin in Texas school book depositories. The latest victim? Education. The Texas Board of Education has decided to inject the textbooks for their public schools with things that make hardcore conservatives feel warm and tingly. Thomas Jefferson, for example has been de-emphasized while evidence will be presented on how Joe McCarthy was vindicated. Here is a list of other revisions and additions the Board has ordered for the curriculum.
