GOOD NEWS: Texas to Begin Requiring Students to Learn About the ‘Perils of Communism’

The state of Texas is going to start teaching students about the ‘perils of communism’ under a newly overhauled social studies curriculum.

Perhaps if all of the states did this, we would not be about to see a democratic socialist (communist) sworn in as the new mayor of New York City.

It’s just amazing that we have a whole generation of young people who don’t understand how dangerous and backwards this ideology is.

Texas requires students learn about ‘perils of communism’ in sweeping new curriculum overhaul

A rewrite of Texas’ social studies curriculum will require educators to teach students about the perils of communism, according to a recent report.

“The new framework, known as the ‘comprehensive’ model, introduces a novel chronological approach to history and signals that the process will result in drastically different new standards,” the Houston Chronicle reported.

Set to take effect in the fall of 2030, “the model, favored by conservatives on the board, boosts the proportion of Texas history, and removes standalone world cultures courses,” the piece said.

“Third grade will now begin with ‘birth of Western civilizations’ and eighth grade will become a Texas history-only capstone course.”

The State Board of Education approved the Social Studies plan by a vote of 8-7 in September.

Under the revised standards, the curriculum will focus more on Texas history and U.S. history rather than world history and cultures.

The Houston Chronicle reported that Democrats on the board raised concerns about the changes.

Meanwhile… there is legislation currently advancing in New York state that would require students to learn about January 6th. Do you think this is part of a political agenda?

New legislation would require some schools to teach students about Jan. 6 insurrection

New legislation in New York state would require schools to teach students about the Jan. 6, 2021 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol.

According to the New York State Senate, the legislation will amend the Education Law to include instruction about the Jan. 6 insurrection as part of the state’s required courses regarding patriotism, citizenship, civic education and values, shared history of diversity, religious tolerance and human rights issues.

The legislation, proposed by John C. Liu from New York’s 16th Senate District, is currently in the Senate’s Education Committee.

Over the last few decades, the left has done a much better job of getting their message embedded in our education system. The right has to start taking this battle more seriously.
