Texas Board of Education Wants To Disappear the Slave Trade 3

Emphasis added.

Tempers are flaring in Texas over controversial proposed changes to the US state’s public school curriculum.

The changes, put forward by the Board of Education’s conservative members, include referring to the slave trade as the “Atlantic triangular trade”.

Jesus.

Words fail me.

No, they do not. But I shan’t use those words here.

Afterthought: They won’t be satisfied until they put them darkies back in their rightful place, goldurnit.

    No, they won’t. But I don’t know why you, or anyone else for that matter, are surprised.

    Did the phrase “white flight” originate in Texas? Because they sure practice it alot.

    Not surprised.  Appalled.

    Well, I am surprised in a way–that they should be so obvious about it.
