won't work when you have states like georgia paying people to go to school for the sciences and business while completely whitewashing history. Yup, georgia is the real life version of the mechanicus. Dogmatic, with some technology.JayFromPA wrote:And people wonder why I want to get a more hands-off policy on the method of education. We plainly cannot legally force changes to the curriculum of the state of texas, not without creating one hell of an authoritarian legal infrastructure that we would impale ourselves on some amount of totalitarianism.
So, since we can't force the texans to teach the truth, and we obviously cannot use micromanagement styles to create educational success.... then the answer must be to head the other way. Back off the states, and in just a couple years when it becomes apparent that the uneducated texans are going to be the ditch diggers of the nation, employed by the well educated people of new hampshire and california and washington and illinois and even kansas.... then you'll see the texas legislature and the texas school boards eat whole flocks of crow.
Yeah, it's the "Let them fuck themselves up a bit so as to learn from the experience" method. I think it would work.

I've been telling people for years that the Chinese are going to take over the world. And they'll do it without firing a shot. It's already started. There are now countries in Eastern Europe, Africa, and South America with more Chinese than natives. Nobody else was interested in building up their infrastructure, and the Chinese had one stipulation: they'll send workers, but you have to let them stay. Sure, it will take a hundred years, maybe two hundred--- China has been there for seven thousand years. What's a couple of hundred?
China has been conquered many times throughout history. After several generations of interbreeding, their conquerors are all gone. China remains. It is one of the most resilient and persistent cultures in the history of the world. They are survivors. Funny, Texas is one of the places in the US where the Chinese are moving. Texas can put whatever spin they want on history, because, ultimately, the Chinese are Chinese. I wonder how long it will be before Mandarin is offered as a foreign language in high schools?
I'm for anything that will overcome the evangelical influence in this state.
Personally, I think it will be an improvement.
You must have learned this in a Texas textbook?Gnigma wrote:There are now countries in Eastern Europe, Africa, and South America with more Chinese than natives.

That's one reason I support Americans United for Separation of Church and State (http://au.org).LibShooter wrote:This is very very dangerous.

That is the way Texas politicos get elected. Witness the Prayer-palooza Rick Perry pulled in the Astro-Dome when he was making his presidential run. Down here, having your picture made on the church steps was good for a 5-8% bump with voters. Perry rode that horse to victory multiple times. Add the goober factor and he was a shoo-in with the electorate.Richard Dawkins [i]Minneapolis Star Tribune[/i] August 25, 2011 wrote:In today's Republican Party 'in spite of' is not the phrase we need. Ignorance and lack of education are positive qualifications, bordering on obligatory.

Then I see how they treat Ronald Reagan—he needs to get credit for saving the world from communism and for the good economy over the last twenty years because he lowered taxes."
