[QUOTE="TxCoUnTrYbOy, post: 316833, member: 352"] Of course something like that would come from UT, a very liberal school. But whether its UT or not, its history. What the libs are trying to do is filter out the things that happened that they dont want kids to know about. There are MANY things that seem to just dissappear from history books, so people dont hear every side of history, only what certain groups say is the good side. For example, I have never seen any information about how Ulysses Grant owned slaves in a school textbook, but after I did research, I found its true. Abraham Lincoln had no intention of freeing the slaves, but he did because of public pressure. Every textbook I have ever seen says that the Civil War was a war over slavery. That is completely not true. It was a minor part, definately not the main cause. These little details are cut out, leaving a person to believe that the South was so wrong and bad. Instances like this UT case, its probably someone who has read history textbooks that said General Lee and General Sherman were nothing but murderous racists who led the South against the saintly North. If you think I am exaggerating, read a history book used in todays public schools, that is exactly the image of anyone from the south during the Civil War that you will get. Sorry for ranting, politics is one of those touchy subjects that I tend to get to get heated on. [/QUOTE]
