Well, everybody that has, at some point in their career, been running for president, should be mentioned in the history books.
If not, what would the 2016 election history be?
Teacher: In 2016 Donald Trump was elected president. He’s representing the GOP. There’s nobody running against him.
Student: What did they need an election for then?
Teacher: For the same reasons they didn’t have a Secretary of State between 2009-2013.

We are not talking about history books.
As well, if people would the article it clearly states that these two people along with some other topics are not mandated to be taught, not that it cannot be taught.
Yes lets all memorize dates, facts, people's names and think we have learned social studies.
This is an elementary school curriculum which about building a sociological-historical civic framework to build knowledge, understanding, application and critical thinking skills.
Knowledge and facts is the lowest level of learning theory.

Whenever the northerners wrote the history books for the South they had a tendency of leaving out the parts that didn’t like.
I don’t like HRC, not one bit. I didn’t like Donald Trump either, but I’ve come to the conclusion that he’s the only politician capable of standing up against China, and that moment he shows that he ain’t controlled by the Russians, I’m gonna support him.
But, leaving out parts of history one doesn’t like, well, that sounds like something the left would’ve done.

I do not doubt that, but we are talking about Texas.
There is a continual selection process in curriculum because the amount of information is not all equal as time goes on. As well the teacher is not prohibited if he/she has the time they are more than free to teach about the person.
Curriculum like I have said repeatedly, is not about saturating the students mind with knowledge of every event, person, place or thing, that is just silly in this day and age.
I really think now this whole thread is just plain silly.
Better to find the real problems and agendas in the world, this news bite is meaningless in the grand scheme of things.
Now, I remember why I felt that this was the "left" making a big deal about it, because HRC is their darling and this is their feeble attempt to make Texas education look bad.

Interesting tjought...
Since the link is to MSNBC, I think it is an attempt of the left to make the south (Texas) look bad by saying they are taking out important people from the curriculum.
Well maybe Texas does not want to spend a lot of time on HRC, I think in terms of curriculum development they are definitely sound in their judgement and it is the left that is making this into a big deal, that has been my whole point. I agree with Texas on this judgement with regards to curriculum development.
