TEXAS Text books

The cons in Texas are scratching the fleas off their collective a___s again. In their supposed efforts to bring "balance" to the teaching of social studies and history in the classrooms, these cons are not leveling the educational playing field, they are in fact, distorting history. If they were truly interested in historical fairness, they would, for instance, insist on revising the text books to include an accurate account of how their state was stolen from Mexico which went to war in resistance of the efforts of such super southern con "patriots" as Jim Bowie, Davy Crockett, and others who wanted to bring our enslaved ancestors into Texas. But Mexico resisted, because enslavement was outlawed in Texas when it was a part of Mexico. So all of these "remember the Alamo" chants that Texas proudly proclaims is just a part of the con agenda to confuse history and to emphasize the mythology of the con political viewpoint as being the model for Texas and America to follow. Don't believe the hype.The real national significance of this movement in Texas is that Texas and California are the largest buyers of school textbooks in the country, and what happens in these two states have the potential to piggy-back across the country. This is just another reason why we must teach our own children at home, in Saturday schools, in youth study groups, at the rec center, etc. When we turn over our children's education to others, then don't be surprised that they will learn a world view that is directly opposite and contradictory to our culture.KwasiDISCLAIMER:

Not sure what African Americans and Latinos are doing in Texas, but this does not look good. We need to start taking names and use some of their tactics. Can you believe with all the hell minorities were catching, the panthers are listed in books for our kids to study as violent when they got tired of getting beat up on? This is sick!

Dr. McLeroy pushed through a change to the teaching of the civil rights movement to ensure that students study the violent philosophy of the Black Panthers in addition to the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s nonviolent approach. He also made sure that textbooks would mention the votes in Congress on civil rights legislation, which Republicans supported.
“Republicans need a little credit for that,” he said. “I think it’s going to surprise some students.”

Efforts by Hispanic board members to include more Latino figures as role models for the state’s large Hispanic population were consistently defeated, prompting one member, Mary Helen Berlanga, to storm out of a meeting late Thursday night, saying, “They can just pretend this is a white America and Hispanics don’t exist.”

WE MUST CHANGE THE IMAGE OF BLACK MEN

Dear Friend:

The past year has been a very disappointing one for the image of BLACK MEN. Support for our beloved President, Barack Obama, is falling in the polls. Michael Jackson's doctor, Conrad Murray, is accused of causing the singer's death. Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab has been charged with an attempted bombing aboard an airlines jet on Christmas Day. Golfer Tiger Woods' reputation is in ruins. And now, the movie Precious features a Black father who twice rapes and impregnates his daughter.

WE MUST CHANGE THE IMAGE OF BLACK MEN

Black men were the first men on earth, the fathers of the human race and the progenitors of civilization. Yet, today all we hear about is Black male crime, violence and irresponsibility. The full story of the Black male must be told.

THE CLEGG SERIES CHANGES THE IMAGE OF BLACK MEN

Our program, When Black Men Ruled the World, presents the great Black pharaohs, generals, scientists, artists, priests and inventors of ancient times. It focuses on the Black male legacy to provide hope, inspiration and pride for the Black race (and all of humanity) in the modern world.
