Texas is going to be the end of The United States

posted by ksoviero



To avoid exposing students to “transvestites, transsexuals and who knows what else,” the Board struck the curriculum’s reference to “sex and gender as social constructs.”

– The Board removed Thomas Jefferson from the Texas curriculum, “replacing him with religious right icon John Calvin.”

– The Board refused to require that “students learn that the Constitution prevents the U.S. government from promoting one religion over all others.”

– The Board struck the word “democratic” from the description of the U.S. government, instead terming it a “constitutional republic.”

Texas is going to be the end of this country.

I am sorry to say, I live in Texas, and it is beyond me to think that anyone could be this blatant in their attempts to corrupt the next generation.  Most of the people I know - even the extreme religious right ones - are appalled by this development.

 “students learn that the Constitution prevents the U.S. government from promoting one religion over all others.”

This is the worst of them all, I think.  What they are trying to do is:

Step 1 - Make children think that this country was founded by and for Christians

Step 2 - After the kids have grown up and moved  into positions of some sort of power, they will then hammer into the younger generations to make the official religion of America be Christianity.

Step 3 - Make America a Christian nation.

Relax (none / 0)
I'm not aware most Texans read. You might have more success with Glenn Beck reading this out loud along with creationist theory.

I say we start fixing our own books though.

Manifest Destiny = Genocide

Define Socialism, Communism, and Fascism. But in depth to the point you are beating a dead horse.

Clear limitations of the three branches of government.

American involvement in supporting rebels and coups.

American military spending as compared to the rest of the world.

The myth of Reaganomics.

The importance of regulations.

The history of drug wars and the futility.

Capitalism: 1<sup>st</sup> World VS 3<sup>rd</sup> world.

Labor Unions.

The constitution and the views of the founding fathers from their hypocrisy to social views (yes their thoughts on religion too).

Evolution, Evolution, Evolution.

SEX ED, SEX ED, SEX ED, SEX ED. NO ABSTINENCE BS.

Texas is going to be the end of The United States

Geographically, it already is.

Steers and well (none / 0)

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.

lol Ayan Rand (none / 0)
The right wing troll worship of her  goes a long way in showing how their minds are wired.

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.

We don't need Texas. (none / 0)
Let them leave, and take their crazy ideals with them. If they want to set up a Christian nation, then let them, and rid them of association with our great nation. I think the United States is so divided on so many different issues, that maybe the U.S. should regionalize. If Washington State wants to be socialist, then let them. If Georgia wants to be an ultra conservative plutocracy, then let them, Texas a theocracy? fine. If we aren't willing to create a strong nation that functions properly and competes with the rest of the world, then let's do it without the crazy people. Let them wallow in their own mistakes.

If the cons win (none / 0)
Whether it's Texas or some other ass, if we let the cons win, we have it coming.

Certainly the odds are massively stacked against us with:
* Rabid right wing media/propaganda/stinktank machine
* Cowardly lions pretending to be liberal politicians that seem incapable of making their case
* A degraded k-12 education system
* Constant attack on higher education to root out liberals
* Citizens spooked by McCarthyism and Cheneyism
* General lethargy and laziness - let the other guy do it
* Right shifting political center that just pumps up the cons to shift it further
* Corporatism, an infection that is still well below almost everyone's radar.

It seems as if things are turning around a little bit now as politicians get more bold and feel less inhibited about hiding their total sellout to big business. And more people are getting news from the internet as old media (except tv) fails from their own incompetence.

People seem fed up but don't know what to do. Just voting doesn't quite cut it anymore so now what? Tea party? Cynicism?

All of those are correct, except... (none / 0)

...that it is "turning around".  New Supreme Court ruling removing 100 years of Campaign Finance regulations, new even-more-crazy militia movements (including the Tea Party) spreading even more dangerous, stupid rhetoric than has been seen in the mainstream in decades, and the death of the Democratic Party as something we could look to to _maybe_ balance the scales a bit.  We had our one last chance, and it was Obama and the huge Democratic majorities and the huge youth activism movement, and it's all gone now.  We got nothing, and we also lost the optimism that there really is a candidate out there who is working for us.

Nothing has turned around;  we're just savvier about politics.  Things continue to get worse, and the crises looming over our near future continue to get more dire.
