I think it was that it just seems too out of place - 14/03/2010 04:14:55 PM 535 Views
I dunno, you didn't elaborate much on your oxymoron statement. - 14/03/2010 04:29:04 PM 525 Views

Many of those subjects are relevant school topics. *shrugs* *NM* - 13/03/2010 04:43:41 AM 257 Views
I'm assuming Art. 11 of the Treaty of Tripoli 1797 is banned from Texan history lessons, then? - 13/03/2010 12:26:41 PM 456 Views
And, along similar lines, both Article VII of the US Constitution and Missouri v. Holland. *NM* - 14/03/2010 12:26:10 AM 181 Views
I assume you mean Article VI? - 14/03/2010 10:32:36 AM 435 Views
Yes. It's not a very good ruling. *NM* - 14/03/2010 10:51:55 PM 179 Views
I would assume the Treaty of Tripoli 1797 would outside of the scope of a Texas history lesson - 16/03/2010 07:54:53 PM 478 Views
Do the states just teach their own history, as opposed to that of what-was-then-the-USA? *NM* - 16/03/2010 11:57:06 PM 250 Views
They teach both...at least at the college level. U.S. history and Texas History were requirements.. *NM* - 17/03/2010 05:38:46 AM 249 Views
Texas history or Texas government? - 18/03/2010 06:53:15 PM 388 Views

A fascinating thing, culture wars. - 14/03/2010 04:16:35 PM 572 Views
When does revisionist history descend to the level of mere hypocrisy? I weep for my country. - 15/03/2010 04:16:25 AM 658 Views
calling Zavala a city is a bit of a stretch don't you think? - 15/03/2010 05:39:03 PM 478 Views
Seguin's a city, or at least town; Zavala is a county. - 15/03/2010 09:00:54 PM 436 Views
Pfft, Seguin is a dump. - 15/03/2010 09:11:09 PM 449 Views
Not the point! - 15/03/2010 09:30:19 PM 412 Views
Zavalla is a town as well and city is a bit of stretch for Seguin - 15/03/2010 10:23:41 PM 394 Views
Fair enough, just trying to make clear I was speaking about municipality and county, respectively. - 29/03/2010 03:49:30 PM 418 Views

I am sure you wouldn't - 31/03/2010 04:19:09 PM 477 Views
Based on this article it is worryingly political - 15/03/2010 11:46:53 AM 406 Views
Do you have any examples of where they are not teaching the truth? - 15/03/2010 05:42:27 PM 427 Views
I think it is what they are leaving out that is worrisome. - 15/03/2010 06:58:38 PM 442 Views
I don't see anything sayting they are leaving that out - 15/03/2010 08:26:50 PM 437 Views
