On the hypocritical scale of 1 to 10, this is a 22!!!

Albert Einstein Removed from Textbooks
The same folks in Texas who calls themselves "conservatives" and preach "small government intrusion," have managed to intrude in the lives of its constituents more than any other single piece of legislation in recent history. Texas "conservatives" are now dictating to the most vulnerable in the state what part of America's history they're allowed to learn. These conservatives have "reduced" the role of Government to the point of teaching their kids half truths and complete lies.
Did any of the so-called "small government" conservatives in Texas think of what's going to happen when the inquisitive mind of these children do a search on Google or any other search engine for American History? Oops, maybe I shouldn't have mentioned that. Next these small government conservatives will be banning Google from Texas's computers.
It began with the Conservative commentators on radio and television, preaching their lies and hate to the audience they've molded. Now, it has slowly migrated itself and found a willing and listening ear in the government of both Arizona and now Texas. It is the Conservative conscience effort to Dumb down Americans.
Two Reasons for Dumbing Down Americans
- A Bigger Pay-Check: Conservative commentators need a dumb down America. The dumber you are, the most gullible you are and incapable of determining the lies and nonsense these commentators are broadcasting on a daily bases. It's in their best interest to keep Americans ignorant of the facts. An educated audience is not their goal, for an educated audience will simply turn off and tune out these talking heads, reducing their influence and thus, their paychecks. The Rush Limbaughs, the Glenn Becks, the Sarah Palins and the like are parasites, eating away at the educational fabric of this nation for one thing - more money, more money, more money!
- Its all Politics: What's the most productive way to guarantee an entire generation will vote a particular way? You teach them what you want them to learn, or not learn in this case. With the recent changes in Arizona deciding to not teach certain ethnic classes in its schools and now Texas's decision to rewrite certain history out of its textbooks, the outcome is obvious. An entire generation of young impressionable children will be left to learn only what these conservatives deem necessary. This generation will grow up in the ignorance, an important factor in being able to control how an individual vote in the future.
No longer are these people trying to disguise their agenda. It can even be said that they're proud of their ideas and want the whole world to see. America is racing to the bottom, and these so-called conservative politicians and media personalities are fighting each other to see who could press the accelerator more.
One example of the changes and the blatant dumbing down of America was in regard to Albert Einstein and Thomas Edison. Both were removed from World History, to make room for Mary Kay and Wallace Amos of Famous Amos Cookies. Two of the most important people in American history and I'm not talking about Mary Kay or Famous Amos!
With Texas being the largest consumer of textbooks in the nation, they have become the "go-to guy" for publishers nationwide, meaning that it's just a matter of time before these dumb down text books begin showing up in your children's school.
God help us all!
