Texas State Board of Education.

       Ya gotta love the Texas State Board of Education. Are you familiar with its work? You should be, your children and grandchildren will likely be using textbooks the TSBE designed and approved of. For instance history books have changed and will likely change again this December. Right now it looks like Hillary Clinton never existed.
       That's right poor Hillary is just a vision of our imagination. She must be, there will be no mention of her in the new textbooks unless something changes. Poor Bill will likely have had no wife to call his First Lady, an opportunity for Monica. New York will have been short one Senator for a time and Trump never had an opponent in his campaign for President. How come Trump spent so much money to defeat nobody what-so-ever. And I suppose "Lock nobody up."
       And Helen Keller. She will disappear as well. She will never have existed if TSBE has its way. A fine woman like that, just suddenly never existed, too bad too because she was a fine lady. But neither of them made the cut. See, the TSBE which is made up of 15 elected members invited a group of people to vote on a list of people as to whether they should be in the new textbooks. On a score of 1 to 21 those people were voted on. Helen only got 7 and Hillary got 5. So, out the door.
       The problem is that Texas State Board of Education must approve all textbooks in the state. Because of the large number of students, book publishers use those books for almost if not all school districts in the country. Take it or leave it. What if Hillary runs in 2020 and wins. People will say nobody ran against Trump and he still lost.
