The news services are calling Trumps success the rise in "American authoritarianism"

Which is a polite way of saying "American Naziism."

Folks of color, folks of the wrong sexual persuasion, strap yourselves in cause it's going to be a bumpy ride.

The Texas Schoolbook Massacre Part II

http://www.alternet.org/education/te...hool-textbooks

Quote:
Presuming that Texas Republicans do not find their long-lost sense of shame between now and this May—and evidence that they will is sparse—she is likely to become one of the most powerful people in America when it comes to content of the textbooks Texas children, and therefore children in quite a few other states besides, find on their desks in coming years.
Quote:
Some things that Mary Lou Bruner has stated she believes: Obama used to be a gay prostitute. Climate change is a hoax promoted by the communists and, specifically, by Karl Marx himself. Slavery is not the reason for the American Civil War, but we have been led to think that through a conspiracy by historians who "waited until all of the people who were alive during the Civil War and the Restoration died of old age." School shootings started only after “the schools started teaching evolution.” That there may have been dinosaurs on Noah’s ark, and the reason there are no dinosaurs now is that Noah only brought baby dinosaurs that starved to death when he let them loose back on land.

She's in charge of what kids in Texas learn in school so she's trying to create a generation of Texans who think just like her.

Unfortunately because of Texas' large population other schools get those same textbooks.
