reality check: liberals started this nonsense.
So you think it's ok for conservatives to attempt to rewrite the history books because they didn't want teachers to have the ability to have a little more control on how they teach their classes to advanced students?

The conservatives got but hurt, because the school board decided to give more flexibility to teachers so they could actually teach advanced students, rather than just prep them for tests.

Because they got so but hurt over furthering the education they decided to rewrite the text books.

On one hand there was no rewriting of the text books, it just gave teachers the ability to teach rather than focus on tests. Then on the other hand the other group was trying to change what was taught to push a political agenda.

It baffles me that you can compare the two and come to the conclusion that dumbing down the history lesson was the right idea.
