Smacks of private funding of indoctrination, don’t they do that in China and North Korea? I guess there could be some debate whether spoiled 1% sabotaging of our history and education is different from government funded of the same. Was it 2008 or 2012 when facts became obsolete?

November 22, 1963 was the start of the era of Mime.
Pretty sure the funding isn’t private in North Korea.
God bless the EU. At least we don’t go out of our way and allow billionaires to influence school boards to re-write history in favor of their point of view.

Actually, there’s no debate, since the same 1% also own the government.

Seems like a more mild version of teach the controversy. It never made sense to me why students were the ones who are supposed to make up their own minds about something. Even if a given issue is controversial it would be debated by experts looking for evidence to back it. It is not an up for grabs thing, unless it is one of those things were a minor historical event could be x or y and it is not really super important what way it went.
Remind me again why the Koch brothers are writing our history books.
Does no one on the NC Board of Education see how ridiculous this is?
These kids have to be indoctrinated you can’t have a bunch of free thinkers roaming the halls of our public school systems. When the Koch’s take over is complete they will be valuable assets.
