Texas is a perfect example of agenda infiltrating education, and for nothing but the wrong reasons. In my view, I see nothing wrong with prayer in school, or bible groups meeting after school, but textbooks are designed to be unbiased truths - which they are.

Maybe the question should be how well educated is the Religious Right? How many textbooks have they read?

As for Fint's example, I believe the phrase is "representative education" where it is hoped that if a black kid as well as Latino, Jewish, gay and disabled kid see others of their kind, they will take a deeper interest in the given lesson.

As a proclaimed educator, are you saying this is doing more harm than good?
