The working group of nine educators, including a professor at the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley, is one of many such groups advising the state education board to make curriculum changes. This summer, the board will consider updates to social studies instruction a year after lawmakers passed a law to keep topics that make students “feel discomfort” out of Texas classrooms. The board will have a final vote on the curriculum in November.

Overcorrection is going to happen. This dumbass crt/white privilege victim grooming will be balanced out. Similar to how MAGAs led to a rebirth of lazy degenerates on the left, and the population of this board speaks to that.

Anyone who proposes to use two words when one will do should be shot at dawn.
 
Trump normalized all of this. It's basically become normal to be promote racist ideals. Especially in Texas.
Nah, the minimization of the slave trade goes back well before Trump. He's just the type of shameless person that has no problem exploiting The Lost Cause to consolidate power.
 
What is the line in Thor Ragnorak? "The prisoners with jobs"?
Except, you can't use the word prisoner. Trad might get the sads and complain.

To be fair he can do it anywhere. Even Springfield, IL, standing behind Congresswoman Mary Miller. Everywhere and anytime is just fine for Trump to dabble in racism.
Miller probably has some good ideas on this topic.

This is just an extension of the absurd “do not offend” crowd where we have to accommodate people who may be offended.

JFC…where are the adults?
they sure as hell are NOT in the Texas Legislature...that is who is FORCING this curriculum change by passing backwards, stupid-assed laws like this! It’s the result of right-wing Texas stupidity that forces shit like this! This is a result of the “CRT” bullshit floating around Republican politics in Texas.
The real danger here is...Texas school textbooks will reflect this attitude...,and because of the size and rules for Texas schooolds ( all schools are required to use the SAME text books statewide) text book publishers are guided on content for their books largely by what Texas (and California) schools require to be included in their text books and curriculum.
 
Not that involuntary relocation isn't a human rights abuse but when talking about the slave trade it's kind of a bit more then that.

Plus also not entirely correct. People who where born slaves where not "involuntarily re-located". They where treated like livestock if not worse.
