This is not my strong topic, but I always thought the Department of Education could maintain and enforce standards that the states could meet in any way they chose.

The scary thing to me is when a state goes off the deep end and starts to re-write history as recently happened in the Texas.

In my childhood, they painted Christopher Columbus as hero savior, when in reality he was a brutal tyrant. At least offer both sides and let folks decide for themselves.


i dont view colombus as a brutal tyrant in the context of his times. by our standards, of course.

im curious; how do you decide whether both sides should be taught (colombus) or not (evolution)?

please dont say one is provable. i just want to know what criteria you use to determine it
