BREAKING: New Texas textbooks will downplay slavery, and leave out KKK and Jim Crow

This fall, Texas public school students will begin using a textbook based on standards adopted in 2010 that pay lip service to racial segregation and completely omit the KKK and Jim Crow, The Washington Post reports:
And when it comes to the Civil War, children are supposed to learn that the conflict was caused by “sectionalism, states’ rights and slavery” — written deliberately in that order to telegraph slavery’s secondary role in driving the conflict, according to some members of the state board of education.
Slavery was a “side issue to the Civil War,” said Pat Hardy, a Republican board member, when the board adopted the standards in 2010. “There would be those who would say the reason for the Civil War was over slavery. No. It was over states’ rights.”
Yes, the Civil War was over states’ rights. Specifically, the right to hold slaves. The Declaration of Causes of Seceding States — a document that should be read in every high school in the country — could not be clearer on this point. As the Post notes, slavery’s role as a primary cause of the Civil War is a matter of “scholarly consensus.” It is as if not more settled in history than the theory of evolution by natural selection is in biology, which, by the way, the Texas standards also undermine.
What’s more, our country’s undying commitment to states’ rights is what allows the Civil War to be the only chapter of history written by the losers. Without a fully national education system, we give states and localities the latitude to set their curricula, even when they’re wrong. And their wrongness does real damage: In a 2011 Pew survey, 48% of Americans felt that the Civil War was over “states’ rights,” while only 38% indicated that the primary cause was slavery — and younger respondents were more likely to answer with states’ rights. Additionally, 36% of respondents felt that it was “appropriate” to praise Confederate leaders.
Yet it’s these same lawmakers who take advantage of our federalism to rewrite history — and biology — in their favor who complain about the supposed tyrannical nature of our government. We let Texas get away with deliberately misleading its children to serve religious, ideological and otherwise political purposes with nothing more than derisive articles and the occasional documentary. Among nations that purport to have the world’s best educational systems, that’s an uniquely American phenomenon.
Fellow texas brehs time to send in the
Black people not doing shyt here breh....Texas black people are so neutered, uninformed and scared. This ain't even new information. They passed this two years ago. Yall too busy watching the governments "nikka Whisper" Bun B talked about littering on the beach to pay attention to real issues....
Native Texans are mostly sheep. Nothing will ever change with that mentality still deeply ingrained in the black population.

Yo Barnett, @Lord Piffington is a fukking cac
People don't understand how much political power was gained from slaves being counted as 3/5ths of a person.
Historical revisionism is dangerous and in this case, racist.
States right's is code word for state-sanctioned racism

Mad movements!
The edited in portion makes zero sense.
The vast majority of black peoples of the New World, the United States, Brazil, Jamaica, Cuba, Hispaniola, Colombia, etc arrived here via the slave trade.
Well no shyt that recent African immigrants weren't slaves in the New World.
And all black peoples have ancestors that go farther back than slavery but it's still apart of the history.
I can't front. I I told my younger brother that black people were kings and queens around the time he was learning about slavery in middle school. And he said "
I thought we were always slaves".

Like a C4.
Erase history so they can one day do it again.
It's so vile man. You think hateful parents teaching their kids is bad, but hateful parents and teachers doing it under law is even worse.
Once this becomes acceptable in higher education, the world lost.

You can tell an educational professional is 
when they use phrases like the 'triangle trade' and the 'trans-antlantic trade' instead of calling it the slave trade.

An author wrote about slavery
*to destroy their dignity and sense of personal worth, slaves except livery servants, were prohibited from possessing or wearing ny appare finger than negro cloth, duffils, kerseys, osnaburgs, blue linen, check lines, or coarse garlix or calicoes, checked cotton or scotch plai, and any constable seeing any negro better clad, might seize the clothes and appropriate them to his own use*
And to this day.

I knew they'd pull this shyt. They'll distort reality to save their ego, even if it's an incredibly serious issue with a monumental impact on history like this one.
