Those kids are going to be wondering pretty fast and vocally why they're flunking en masse. You pay a premium for AP exams. Who's going to tell them their education is substandard? |

Another article about Texas you admit to not reading? Perhaps you missed this part:Mercer said the new exam and course framework ignore such American civil right icons as Martin Luther King Jr., Rosa Parks and Cesar Chavez, while sanitizing lessons on World War II. "In World War II there's no Holocaust, no liberation of concentration camps," he said. "It's mentioned in Texas, but not in the (national) framework." Why would you want students to learn history without learning about Rosa Parks, MLK, or the Holocaust? Salaam, you (naturally) agree with bingbong. So you don't want children learning about Dr. King, Rosa Parks, or Cesar Chavez? Wait, of course you don't...you proved weeks ago that you're a traitor to your race. |

I wonder what else they don't like about the curriculum. Somehow I doubt they made their decision based just on those omissions, if they are in fact true. |
