Texas 'victory'
Conservatives are cheerful at the moment because the Texas book commission has given first-stage approval to a pro-American and pro-Western outline for history and social studies. Any victory is worth a bit of jubilation, but watch out. This will rile up the Commies, who will find a way to undo the decision at a later stage.
And if they don't, the publishers, hard-line Stalinists all, may simply tell Texas to pound sand, then choose their own hyper-diverse anti-Christian doctrinaire deconstructionist text for the rest of the country. (Actually I'm surprised they haven't done this a long time ago ... the literary Commies have always HATED this process of oh-so-reluctantly and ever-so-marginally toning down their genocidal gibbering to fit standards designed by Knuckle-Dragging™ Drooling™ Christers™ And Neanderthals™. Publishers would absolutely revel in their new-found freedom!)
And that would be the real victory, if Texas knows how to handle it.
Back in the civilized era most states had their own gov't-owned printing plants, churning out textbooks for all students at no expense to parents. This enabled each state to choose its own approach for various subjects. State self-sufficiency didn't matter as much back then, because Commies didn't yet own all of our national culture and corporations. Now it does matter, and Texas is probably the only state with both the resources and the guts to resurrect the old way of doing things. ¶ 4:27 PM
