My public school education was lacking back in the day before the Tea Partisans took control of the textbook writing. I missed that part of Exodus where Moses wins election as leader of the Jews with 53% of the vote.  Moreover, I never realized that the Civil War had nothing to do with slavery, or that everybody in the good ol’ US of A really ought to be a Christian.  But thanks to the Texas State Board of Education I now see the light.  The always good for a laugh or cry SBOE votes today on accepting new textbooks.  The proposed history books are always good fodder for citizens of all political stripes to complain.
