We need to strip away the Texas politician's power of being sole authority over what the rest of the country's school systems can use as textbooks for educating our young people. Their political and religious agenda has helped create generations of people who are under-educated, science-denying, and believers of revisionist history. Critical thinking skills are not being taught or encouraged. This has has a detrimental effect on society as a whole and any progress as a people and as a nation has slowed to a crawl. Thanks for a good read, Bjorn!
