In Texas they make you take Texas history in the 7th grade random thoughts Send a noteboard - 18/03/2010 07:26:13 PM
It is basically taught like US history but only covers what happened in Texas. My post was mostly meant as a joke.

As far the particulars of the Barbary Pirates War and any treaties signed there I doubt even college US history classes go much beyond the fact there was one and the fact that the event was the first time the US flag was raised in the Old World. I don't believe the entire incident took up more then a paragraph or two in our text.

Besides you are missing that there is a difference between being founded on a religion and being founded on religious principles.

"Impartial Historical Account" is an oxymoron Isaac - 13/03/2010 12:21:20 AM 638 Views
Exactly, no such thing as "Impartial" history Brian - 13/03/2010 12:54:49 AM 516 Views

Strange choice of analogies... Isaac - 14/03/2010 12:17:03 PM 528 Views
I could be wrong, but I think his point was simply... Legolas - 14/03/2010 03:53:23 PM 603 Views
I think it was that it just seems too out of place Isaac - 14/03/2010 04:14:55 PM 651 Views
I dunno, you didn't elaborate much on your oxymoron statement. Legolas - 14/03/2010 04:29:04 PM 648 Views
It didn't really seem something that needed elaborating Isaac - 14/03/2010 05:20:33 PM 701 Views

Many of those subjects are relevant school topics. *shrugs* *NM* everynametaken - 13/03/2010 04:43:41 AM 317 Views
Yes, because this article is all about presenting the truth in an unbiased manner *NM* AgentOrange - 13/03/2010 11:02:20 AM 240 Views
I'm assuming Art. 11 of the Treaty of Tripoli 1797 is banned from Texan history lessons, then? Tim - 13/03/2010 12:26:41 PM 567 Views
And, along similar lines, both Article VII of the US Constitution and Missouri v. Holland. *NM* Ghavrel - 14/03/2010 12:26:10 AM 231 Views
I assume you mean Article VI? Tim - 14/03/2010 10:32:36 AM 551 Views
Yes. It's not a very good ruling. *NM* Ghavrel - 14/03/2010 10:51:55 PM 236 Views
I would assume the Treaty of Tripoli 1797 would outside of the scope of a Texas history lesson random thoughts - 16/03/2010 07:54:53 PM 588 Views
Do the states just teach their own history, as opposed to that of what-was-then-the-USA? *NM* Tim - 16/03/2010 11:57:06 PM 304 Views
They teach both...at least at the college level. U.S. history and Texas History were requirements.. *NM* Brian - 17/03/2010 05:38:46 AM 306 Views
Texas history or Texas government? random thoughts - 18/03/2010 06:53:15 PM 512 Views

When does revisionist history descend to the level of mere hypocrisy? I weep for my country. Joel - 15/03/2010 04:16:25 AM 800 Views
calling Zavala a city is a bit of a stretch don't you think? random thoughts - 15/03/2010 05:39:03 PM 593 Views
Seguin's a city, or at least town; Zavala is a county. Joel - 15/03/2010 09:00:54 PM 555 Views
Pfft, Seguin is a dump. Brian - 15/03/2010 09:11:09 PM 572 Views
Not the point! Joel - 15/03/2010 09:30:19 PM 520 Views
Zavalla is a town as well and city is a bit of stretch for Seguin random thoughts - 15/03/2010 10:23:41 PM 510 Views
Fair enough, just trying to make clear I was speaking about municipality and county, respectively. Joel - 29/03/2010 03:49:30 PM 535 Views
See the problem is the argument is total BS random thoughts - 29/03/2010 05:27:53 PM 574 Views
