In what has become a politically-charged national debate over education, the Texas Board of Education finally approved the high school and k-8 curriculum for the state's public schools. Among their most "controversial" decisions, the board:
-rejected language to modernize the classification of historic periods to B.C.E. and C.E. from the traditional B.C. and A.D.;
-they required that public school students in Texas evaluate efforts by global organizations such as the United Nations to undermine U.S. sovereignty;
-they strengthened the requirements on teaching the role of Judeo-Christianity in the founding of this country; and
-students will be required to study the decline in the value of the U.S. dollar, including the abandonment of the gold standard.
Oh the horror!
Reason 879 to home school your children: if these kinds of things are controversial in a state like Texas, imagine what your kids are learning in Wisconsin!
