so we talked about how are the texas board of education are completely
revamped their uh... history right their history curriculum
they basically wanted to
spend last time emphasizing civil rights leader is in fact a lot of civil rights leaders got
chopped off their books are for instance senate robbe's got cut out dot blot thurgood marshall
got cut off out of the textbooks to right
so lewis's thurgood marshall in the first uh... blacksburg or justice
only guy who won brown versus board decision was an important are not at all on taxes not
and say that john is city the guys latina
but what's interesting and this is not surprising of chorus uh... members on the texas school
board
uh... want to emphasize leaders uh... in the confederacy
own really but that's a big shot
just awhile coincidence i'm sure who cares about stays our job is a very good marshall
how did talk about a good generals of the confederacy we're trying to teach slavery
in place i mean
white persons for
cell this story has actually been brewing for a couple months now bright and we've been
hearing about what advanced school board officials in texas wanted to you
but finally we have civil rights organizations are fighting back and i love it apace so the
two organizations are the texas and double a_c_p_ and the texas lead of united
latin american citizens
alright and what they want to do is have
that a federal investigation of the curriculum in texas okay and they want a focus on you
know the fact that their downplaying civil rights leaders the fact that their are trying
to discriminate against african-americans and hispanics in the text books and i think
that it's and a really important thing for them to do
they're saying look this isn't a full-blown lawsuit yet however this could lead to legal
proceedings
if court i don't look
he had the result is that there's a difference here
but as far as how is it like the final result
come on man this is this is so on sis's breeze
but to give me another example
from so we did early on the same uh... uh...
uh... they want to be emphasized people like senator ted kennedy who is one of the most
legendary senators in american history eight agree or disagree with them i mean senator
strom thurman heights couldn't disagree with more but he was a legendary senator part of
american history anything important out of the history books you're not doing real history
you're doing propaganda i don't agree with them but that doesn't need to go this route

the positive aspects of slavery or to exalt
jefferson davis of the confederacy is just an abomination i mean no disrespect to people
