in Texas, publishing standards are being set for that state’s textbooks. Since Texas is so huge relative to the rest of the US, its standards usually establish what will get said in the rest of the country’s textbooks. Here is a link to video of a Tx board of education meeting where a board member is objecting to the use of the words “imperialism” and “propaganda” to describe any action of the US government.
How are future US voters going to understand the world if they don’t have access to these concepts as they relate to America’s place in it?
