FREEP This Poll! Do you support the Texas Board of Education's curriculum changes?

The Texas Board of Education is poised to enact a new social-studies curriculum that portrays America as a nation rooted in Biblical values and promotes the virtues of low taxes, limited regulation and free enterprise. Those standards have provoked heated debate in the state similar to the one that broke out last year when the board overhauled the science curriculum. What do you think? Are Texas' new standards appropriate? Or are they changing the curriculum in a way that is not representative of the rest of the country?

Just voted.
This needs help.
Only 40% support the heros of the modern day Alamo here.
The rest support the current anti-western, anti-American pablum being spoonfed to young minds at present.

That is about the most incomplete and misleading poll question I've ever seen;
about an inch away from "have you stopped beating your wife?

“The Texas Board of Education is poised to enact a new social-studies curriculum that portrays America as a nation rooted in Biblical values and promotes the virtues of low taxes, limited regulation and free enterprise.”
Anyone with a walnut for a brain can read out constitution and declaration of Independence and conclude this. And the Left is acting like it’s propaganda.
