The Lone Star State



A bit of disturbing news on this side of the pond.

In the USA, Texas, has adopted a new social studies curriculum.

"AUSTIN, Texas – The Texas State Board of Education adopted a social studies and history curriculum Friday that amends or waters down the teaching of the civil rights movement, slavery, America's relationship with the U.N. and hundreds of other items."

I'm guessing the Lone Star state is the Lone Star for 'Imperialism', 'Racism', 'Bigotry', and a host of other nastiness. And just guess what religion most Texans follow...
