'30s Texas history textbook on lazy Indians, idle Negroes and awesome white folks! http://blogs.pitch.com/plog/2010/05/studies_in_crap_30s_texas_history_textbook_on_lazy_indians_idle_negroes_and_awesome_white_folks.php

It turns out that all of American history is decided by Texas, the state that nobody's supposed to mess with even though it used to get its ass stomped by Mexico. Last year the State Board of Education stunned America by suggesting that Thurgood Marshall and Cesar Chavez be stripped from text books.

Then, the governor got so mad about poor people maybe getting health insurance that he fantasized about secession, which sounds crazy only until you remember that in its first 15 years of statehood Texas managed to quit both Mexico and the U.S. because that's what patriots do.

Dentist Don McLeroy, of the Texas Board of Education, recently explained that his decision to edit brown folks out of textbooks has something to do with freedom: "We have an obligation to Texas to make sure [students] understand the original principles upon which America was founded." The Board votes this month on the changes.
