Texas Approves Textbook Changes

Finally, one for the Founding Fathers and freedom. Heard that changes include more emphasis on states rights, clarification of the importance of religion in the lives of our founders and emphasis on the Constitution and Bill of Rights.

They were adopted after a final showdown by two 9-to-5 votes along party lines, after Democrats’ and moderate Republicans’ efforts to delay a final vote failed.

The standards, which have prompted national debate, will be used by publishers who often develop materials for other states based on those passed in Texas. Texas Approves Textbook Changes
