Is there a question for debate in this?Compassionist wrote:Yes, sad but true.chatfouz wrote:scary. when history is warped to fit a political viewpoint. As a soon to be teacher in texas I hate the idea of this.
That being said, on behalf of all Texans who oppose this disturbing rewrite of history, I apologize.
Unless indicated otherwise what I say is opinion. (Kudos to Zzyzx for this signature).

A good question. I live in Austin, which is far more liberal, so as intense as the opposition is here I am not sure whether we have any influence over her seat. I also do not know if there is enough opposition in the conservatives' home districts that they will be voted out of office for this.goat wrote:Do you think that there will be suffienct opposition to this woman she gets kicked off the board when her term is up?Chaosborders wrote:Is there a question for debate in this?Compassionist wrote:Yes, sad but true.chatfouz wrote:scary. when history is warped to fit a political viewpoint.
