I'll Be Dipped and Deep Fried

Texas got one right for the country! The lib-ruls are gonna have a Kennedy-esque heeny over this one:

Teachers in Texas will be required to cover the Judeo-Christian influences of the nation's Founding Fathers, but not highlight the philosophical rationale for the separation of church and state. Curriculum standards also will describe the U.S. government as a "constitutional republic," rather than "democratic," and students will be required to study the decline in value of the U.S. dollar, including the abandonment of the gold standard.

Of course, the first paragraph of the article shows how our fearless purveyors of socialist garbage believe it should be portrayed for the feeble-minded readers of said garbage:

A far-right faction of the Texas State Board of Education succeeded Friday in injecting conservative ideals into social studies, history and economics lessons that will be taught to millions of students for the next decade.

Way to objectively report the news, April Castro of the Associated Press. How's your Tio Fidel, by the way? But here is the best part:

Decisions by the board — made up of lawyers, a dentist and a weekly newspaper publisher among others — can affect textbook content nationwide because Texas is one of publishers' biggest clients.

MADE of win!
There will, of course, be lawsuits because 4 Democrats walked out whining because they couldn't get their way. But WAIT. There's MORE!!!

In addition to learning the Bill of Rights, the board specified a reference to the Second Amendment right to bear arms in a section about citizenship in a U.S. government class.

Conservatives beat back multiple attempts to include hip-hop as an example of a significant cultural movement.

Go hence and read it all. Twice.
