how to teach in texas, part two
(or "Terri Leo needs a good bitch-slapping")*
You can always tell the publishers of textbooks what they can and can't publish.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, The SBOE isn't actually ordering or demanding that the publisher make the changes. No. That would apparently be against Texas law. It's not like that at all. The publisher is doing it voluntarily.
Yeah, right. . .
In this scenario the Texas SBOE is little more than a wealthy and therefore highly influential john dictating to the publishing prostitutes how they gotta shake their moneymakers.
Please allow me a local colloquialism, but it freakin' chaps my hide that a politician (and therefore, by definition, an arrogant egotistical self-serving bastard; or bitch, whatever the case may be) is allowed to dictate the contents of a textbook to a publisher.
If that doesn't actually cross the line of censorship it certainly skates it with one leg and both hands in the air.
It sounds at though Terri Leo's delusional belief in the Great Homosexual Conspiracy is impacting her ability to make rational decisions.
I, for one, feel naught but compassion for Ms. Leo.
I hope she quickly refills and resumes taking her thorazine to get her paranoid schizophrenia under control before she attempts more decisions and further imposes her ignorant narrow minded view of reality upon children.
