The left-leaning Texas Tribune has gotten it wrong again. In a recent post, the author suggests that Texas isn't so important after all, after
referring to the State Board of Education:
"...15 politicians in Texas (or at least the rightest-leaning half of them)"
And they fail to mention that Texas' curriculum standards are more stringent than national standards, and 13 states are moving to or have adopted the Texas standards when they wrote:
"...Texas remains one of only two states that has shunned the national standards movement being pushed out of Washington, which, if it progresses as expected, would no doubt dwarf the market influence of even giant states."
Then they make the admission:
"...Most history textbooks are not written by historians, self-respecting or otherwise. "
If the SBOE is at least half right-leaning, are the others "left-leaning" and why not point out what earns these elected the "right-leaning" label. They want to teach American Exceptionalism? Hardly right-leaning.
It's clear the Daily Texan has done a better job than these high-powered reporters gathered to funnel left-leaning material to policymakers in Austin. Is the Texas Tribune the online-voice for the Texas (anti-)Freedom Network?

I can understand that you might disagree with the viewpoints of the Texas Freedom Network, but can you provide examples of how they are anti-freedom? Just because you disagree with someone or an organization does not make them anti-freedom.
