Most of this stuff will go in one ear and out the other for the poor students of Texas, but the most troubling part is going to be the lionization of Ronald Reagan. We got a ton of this BS in the late 80s/early 90s in my school, and it had fairly liberal teachers. The great boom of the 90s will all be credited to Reagan and will totally ignore the fact that
A. Liberal economist Paul Volcker killed inflation and rebooted the economy in 1983.
B. The industrialization of Asia in the 80s and 90s created huge gobs of investment money. That dickhead Ayn Rand disciple Alan Greenspan directed money straight into Wall Street capital markets. Meanwhile wages became stagnant and led to the deflation of the middle class.
anyway probably for another thread, but this is what the right-wingers want--more Reagan disciples.
She was an amphetamine addicted author and not a very good one at that.. who praised serial killers and Bernie Madoff type embezzlers. Not some genius .
Of course you can tell Greenspan worshiped her too.. he was vehemently against regulation of Wall Street.
