The Texas Board of Education thinks they can rewrite history. Now some on the Board are trying to take Neil Armstrong out of the social science textbooks because Armstrong “is not a scientist”.
This is just the latest in a series of insane proposals being made in the Texas Board of Ed. Also proposed was taking negative facts about America out of the history books, putting Christmas in schools, minorities must be thankful to majorities, removing the word “propaganda” from U.S. history, and emphasizing GOP civil rights heroes (??).
Neil should ask Buzz Aldrin to go over there to kick ass and take names:
Um, am I missing something here? The article says “social studies” books so what would not being an official scientist have to do with anything?
Is this how it works in the other 49 states? Some board decides what does or does not get into a history book? Man, Texas has gone all Fahrenheit 451 on us.
