NOT According to the Jewish-owned NEW YORK TIMES...
in a TEXTBOOK example of a so-called "liberal" Jewish organization ACTUALLY BEING IN LEAGUE with the RADICAL Right-Wing Southern reactionaries, ARTHUR SULZBERGER and his lying, anti-American editors PRETEND that the TEXAS JIHAD to ELMINATE discussion of Thomas Jefferson from Texas school history books - and thereby the ELIMINATION of DISCUSSION of THE BILL OF RIGHTS from Texas schools - is "nothing to see, move along, move along"!
Because we all know, IF the New York Times publisher and editors WANTED to focus their "LASER BEAM" of "world class" press "reporting" & attention on Texas' PURGING of CIVIL RIGHTS discussion from Texas (and national) textbooks, why, THEY COULD.... just as easily as the Neo-Con NY Times used JUDITH MILLER to act as MEGAPHONE for DICK CHENEY and PAUL WOLFOWITZ's LIES to justify the U.S. INVASION, war, and eternal occupation of Iraq in 2002 and 2003.
THE Neo-Con ANTI-AMERICAN New York Times, ALLIED with the DICTATORIAL impulses of the radical right-wing - as they have been since well before the STOLEN ELECTION of 2000.
http://pr.thinkprogress.org/2010/03/pr20100319/index.htmlCONGRATULATIONS, New Yorkers! Your home-town "PAPER OF RECORD" is IN LEAGUE with the murderous, radical, reactionary SOUTHERN Right-Wing HIJACKING of America... because there's BILLIONS of dollars to be made in WAR PROFITEERING, financial fraud, and EXTORTION of TAXPAYERS to pay for Goddamn-Sachs' BAILOUTS and "bonus" TRILLIONS $$....
If America's lucky, what happens in Texas will stay in Texas -- at least when it comes to education standards. It would even better if the right wing's destructive manipulation of the state's schools wasn't happening at all. Last week, the Republican-dominated Texas Board of Education approved a social studies curriculum that extols the importance of the National Rifle Association, Phyllis Schlafly, Confederate leader Jefferson Davis, and Joseph McCarthy. Right-wing board members removed Thomas Jefferson from "a list of figures whose writings inspired revolutions in the late 18th century and 19th century"; many of them bear ill will toward the third U.S. president because he coined the term "separation between church and state." They also decided to require U.S. history classes to teach the difference between legal and illegal immigration. Last week's vote was the culmination of a decades-long plot by social conservatives to gain control over the influential Board of Education and, ultimately, the power to impose a far-right ideology on the nearly 5 million schoolchildren in Texas. Unfortunately, what's happening in the Lone Star State may spread nationally: Texas is one of the largest textbook buyers in the nation, and publishers, eager to get the business, often tailor their books to the state's standards.
