My daughter is a tx high school student and the books don’t mention slavery in context of the civil war. It’s framed as only a states rights issue, in which Texas is the honorable fighter of freedoms.

Yet all these educated people keep lauding and moving to Texas?

And I am sure there is no mention that Slavery was the # 1 reason for Texas Succeeding from Mexico.

In fairness, Texas is a place where they make elementary school kids stand up every morning and say the Pledge of Allegiance...

to the TEXAS flag.

Just pointing out that the educational experience in Texas is not necessarily indicative of what the educational experience in the rest of the US is like.
