A California state senator has submitted legislation that would not allow newly approved Texas social studies text books in the Golden State. The senator said:
“While some Texas politicians may want to set their educational standards back 50 years, California should not be subject to their backward curriculum changes. The alterations and fallacies made by these extremist conservatives are offensive to our communities and inaccurate of our nation’s diverse history.”
Though publishers say that the Texas curriculum will not cross state borders due to enhancements made in digital publishing, their track record is not that great. Legislation like this is warranted and should be implemented in the First State. feel free to mess with Texas.
