No really, what are you reading? "you guys?" No, there is no racial tone in this response.

These laws are meant to quiet minorities.

So, what do you want taught at public schools? Honest question, should kids learn about the crap that happen in the south or the extermination of native americans or the internment of japenese? Or, it this stuff not for our kids?

Yea, it's definitely the conservatives who are most outraged about "biased" textbooks:

Interestingly enough, you seemed to object to the "biased" textbooks used in Texas, but have no problem with the "biased" textbooks used in AZ. Why is that?

Here is a suggestion, lets teach history like it really happened. Lets give both sides. Hey it's the truth, then no one can gripe.

Okay, I respect the response. So, do you in your opinion mention the crap that has happened in this country? Or, do you support hiding and sanitizing it?
 
And I still want to know if it would be legitimate to ban THE AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF MALCOLM X under this law.

And I mean that as a legitimate question.

Neither. I support teaching it as the past and with the caveat to never let it happen again...as a unified people.
