Something is rotten in the state of Texas
On March 11th, the Texas State Board of Education (Texas SBOE) voted on a variety of amendments to the state social studies, world history and U.S. government curricula. Prepare to be appalled at the outcomes. As reported by the Texas Freedom Network, the Board voted to:
– Remove Thomas Jefferson from the world history curriculum on the impact of Enlightenment thinkers;
– Include exploration of the right to bear arms in the curriculum on First Amendment rights and free expression;
– Strike down an amendment that would have required students to “examine the reasons the Founding Fathers protected religious freedom in America by barring government from promoting or disfavoring any particular religion over all others.”
– Include exploration of the right to bear arms in the curriculum on First Amendment rights and free expression;

Religious freedom for all – except our troops?
Servicemen and women are often viewed as “ultimate” Americans. Their patriotism drives them not only to perform a citizen’s basic duties, but to take on the additional responsibility of physically putting themselves between the rights and freedoms of Americans and those who would alter or restrict those freedoms. It’s logical to assume that such champions would themselves be beneficiaries of the things they defend but, when it comes to religious freedom in the military, this isn’t always the case.
