Whitewashing History: New Texas Textbooks Downplay Jim Crow, Don't Mention The KKK & Frame Slavery As A Side Issue In The Civil War!

DESCRIPTION
Nw social studies textbooks planned for use in Texas public schools this year are under fire for the way they depict slavery, the Civil War and racial segregation. According to a report in the Washington Post, the books downplay slavery as a cause of the Civil War and "barely address" segregation in the Jim Crow-era South. The new textbooks are in line with statewide standards adopted in 2010 by the Texas State Board of Education, a 15-member elected panel dominated by Republicans. The board called for students to be taught that the Civil War was caused by "sectionalism, states' rights and slavery," which, the Post reports, was "written deliberately in that order to telegraph slavery’s secondary role in driving the conflict."
Texas public schools are not obligated to use the state-approved textbooks, but many schools choose to do so rather than research and buy their own books. Via The Young Turks
