The Texas Board of Education — known for a long line of controversies about what students should and shouldn’t learn in social studies — has taken a step to remove Hillary Clinton from the curriculum.
Really.
The Dallas Morning News reported that on Friday, the board, in a preliminary vote, agreed to remove a number of historical figures, with Clinton and Helen Keller among them, in a “streamlining” effort to update the social studies curriculum standards for grades K-12. A final vote will be in November.

Why did the board vote to toss Clinton — the first female presidential nominee of a major party, who won more votes than the Republican candidate, Donald Trump; a U.S. senator, a U.S. secretary of state; and a first lady — from the curriculum?(snip)
The Dallas Morning News spoke with two teachers from the group of board-nominated volunteers that made the recommendations. Both said the state required students to learn about so many historical figures that it resulted in rote memorization of dates and names instead of real learning.
The 15-member work group came up with a rubric for grading every historical figure to rank who is "essential" to learn and who isn't. The formula asked questions like, "Did the person trigger a watershed change"; "Was the person from an underrepresented group"; and "Will their impact stand the test of time?"
Out of 20 points, Keller scored a 7 and Clinton scored a 5.

I think that even the democratic party is trying to remove her from their history.
In the not too distant future, people will be asking “Hillary who?”.
I hope they hold off on this decision. Hillary should definitely be in the history books for exactly what she is - the most corrupt, criminal, lying, psychotic, power-hungry, bullying, greedy, dangerous high-ranking democrat female in America.
PROGRESS!!
“Texas moves to remove Hillary Clinton from social studies curriculum. Really.”
Sorry, but it’s HILLARY RODMAN CLINTON, idiots.
And, if we want to use what was on her 2016 (released) 1040 cover page, it was simply HILLARY RODMAN. Look it up, WPost idiots.
Not that anyone will care about Hillary Clinton or Geraldine Ferraro's "feats" after the first female President of the United States actually gets elected, but it's still something, I suppose. Hillary Clinton might be the answer to a Jeopardy! trivia question in 2100 or something.
DMN is a worthless liberal rag.
Hint hint, “in an effort to streamline curriculum”
Not teach the history of the world.
Somebody is gonna get cut.
Rodman...Rodham?!
BTW my Great Grandparents were deaf and mute.
Good. Other than being the wife of a president, what has she done besides killed some of our men in Benghazi?
We should probably keep that part in the history books though.
I think she invented the term "bimbo eruption."
The real mystery is why Hillary was in the curriculum in the first place.
Hillary did nothing noteworthy to deserve being in history books for.
Who? ;-)
Keep Hillary’s name in the history books... in a section discussing Benedict Arnold, Julius and Ethel Rosenberg, Jane Fonda, Aldrich Ames, Barry Hussein, Robert Hanssen, John Kerry, John Walker, Jr., and other despicable traitors to the United States of America.
“The real mystery is why Hillary was in the curriculum in the first place.”
Bingo.
Well, Jesse Jackson called her Rodman, and OBVIOUSLY I don’t want our site to be accused of racism.
