Historians decry social studies revisions

It's nice to know that historians - particularly those in Texas - are lining up against the Texas state "reforms" that teach stuff like slavery wasn't so bad and Joe McCarthy was a nice guy or whatever lies they are selling.

Plus, another view supporting California's move to reject any textbook that is printed that includes the Texas lies.

Seriously, people in general are pretty stupid. Willingfully lying to children because you are bigoted and hate others is just cruel. Our children are supposed to be *better* than us, not force fed bullshit that doesn't reflect reality.
