Interesting take, and I hope it works, 'cause the prospect of having the Texas Know-Nothings dictating what the kids in the rest of the country are going to learn is a frightening one indeed. I say give the Texas secessionists what they want!

I think a national standard is a good idea and I hope that using NCLB might make it happen. I do agree with Michale that school books should reflect all view points and not just those who happen to be on some board. Students should be given the facts from all known perspectives so that they can come to their own conclusions.

To be fair there were also instances where liberals wanted to erase the likes of Daniel Boone from history and replace him with such "heroic" {sic} figures as Che Guevera and the like...

It just shows to go ya that history should never be written by idealouges...

Otherwise, we would have things like, "We are at war with Eurasia.. We have ALWAYS been at war with Eurasia"..
