The text books will contain even less information on the Irish to make room for the 'gays in history' that a law will make them include in the new text books.
I read it and thought it was a good article......I am just interjecting that California schools have passed or will pass a law that text books here must contain all the GLBT action in our history books.It's obvious that you didn't click on or read the article as you only sought to interject your agenda in to yet another thread. I read the article and there was no mention of what you suggested. The article was an excellent read and I thank 804 for posting it. Dave.

Having to add content will surely displace lots of valuable info. like the article posted and that would be a shame.
Take your "it's obvious" ......I read it. Local legal happenings here are different than in N.Y. and I see what they are saying will happen in the curriculum and realize something's gotta give. Maybe they'll quit teaching about the constitution or the Irish struggle, or the Italian, or the Jewish............
Unlike you, I look beyond the article and ask questions.......
Thanks to the OP for the article.
So high fructose corn syrup makes me clutch the remote?? I need a good excuse.I agree with Moreluck but I go a little bit farther than she. I think they should not only get rid of GLBT history which takes valuable time away from discussing important American history, but we should get rid of talk of the Irish , Jews, Mexicans, and any other minority that came over. History should just focus on the time that the Pilgrims came to America and from that point on , focus only the WASP historical experience. I suppose history could mention the Native Americans but only as roadblocks to progress.
Besides, gay people didn't exist until the invention of high fructose corn syrup, the ingestion of which has proven to confuse the sexuality of newly formed fetuses. It caused women to demand the right to vote and men to wear their hair long. Why should this food caused aberration merit any mention in our AMERICAN history books?
Just my humble but informed opinion.

Oh, according to that guy in Iran....(Ahmanutjob) there are no homosexuals in Iran.......maybe he doesn't get Shahs of Sunset.Re "Besides, gay people didn't exist until the invention of high fructose corn syrup, the ingestion of which has proven to confuse the sexuality of newly formed fetuses.
Huh?
Not sure why everything coming out is still green... anywho thanks 804, good post. Pickup, when the high fructose corn syrup wears off you might find Howard Zinn's "A peoples History of the US from 1492 to present" a good read. Might not work in Morelucks book club but ... I'm off for one more pint...I agree with Moreluck but I go a little bit farther than she.

Wow. I had no idea anyone really thought like that. Enlightening.
