    History lessons in Texas started with Texas. Later you hear about the US then later you find out there are other countries.

    Of course this was in the late 50s early 60s.
    When Donald Trump said to protest “peacefully”, he meant violence.

    When he told protesters to “go home”, he meant stay for an insurrection.

    And when he told Brad Raffensperger to implement “whatever the correct legal remedy is”, he meant fraud.

    War is peace.

    Freedom is slavery.

    Ignorance is strength.

    This is beyond insane. And they are in charge of students in their Texas school district.



    If I had kids, and if I was in this part of Texas, I would spend extra time with my kids to teach them the truth about their history.

    This is one of the primary problems with our modern public education systems. Young students are being taught what to think vs being taught how to think.

    No they wouldn't! Well, GOP Trumproids might try that, because they have fascist violent tendencies!

    Once again, humor and satire escape you!

    They have also completely done away with teaching them cursive handwriting. All this texting/typing $#@!, the social media, etc....is going to end whatever etiquette, social manners, and social decorum we have left. Do you know why "johnny" cant spell? He doesnt need to now that we have auto-correct doing it for him.
    At the end of the day...I am still glad that I am me. Tail and all.
