I donāt know who Betsey will be quicker to hireāthe guy who got fired(incompetent) or the guy who fired him(fanatical). Theyāll both fit in.
"Everyone loves King Faisal here, even the younger generations,ā he said.
Iām sure any Saudi citizen who didnāt love King Faisal would immediately tell everybody. The rulers there are always open to constructive input.
When the thread-winning comment is also the lede, our work here is done.
Well played, Esme!
This is why you never use placeholder images or text. They get published.
Placing this image in a history textbook in Alabama gets you elected to the U.S. Senate.
Ixnay. Jeebus isnāt carrying.
Classic.
At least it was either a mistake or a joke that was meant to be corrected. Unlike some things that have been finding their way into US history text books which are intentional fabrications, omissions, or fabrications in recent years. https://www.nytimes.com/2015/10/06/us/publisher-promises-revisions-after-textbook-refers-to-african-slaves-as-workers.html
Ahmed Al-Issa also fired āothers responsible for the mishap who reviewed and approvedā the image.
Several conspirators were arrested in early morning raids, and Yoda was later publicly lashed and beheaded.
Proofread or do not, there is no try.
Ms. Cribb, I have no particular beef with your articles, but TPM in general might be humble when thinking about criticizing anyone for a lack of proofreading.
Photoshopping various fictional cultural icons into famous historical scenes is so childish. Itās important that kids get an unbiased, unvarnished view of history and historical events.
Thatās why the Texas Board of Education has begun a month-long project to both shorten and refocus history so we can affirmatively answer that rarely asked question first posed by George W. Bush: āIs our children learning?ā
Gone will be the use of mere words, historical documents and boring accounts, replaced with an emphasis on pictures that depict history the way we want them to know it.
For instance, below is the complete chapter on Englandās Queen Elizabeth I. Gone are the boring facts and events of the Elizabethan Era, replaced by a single photo.
We are truly on the cusp of an enlightened era. Thank you, Texas.
Q: Who is the most important person in the publishing company?
A: The preefrooder.
ā¦and Trump can only DREAM to be this āpowerfulāā¦
Couldnāt they just cover it over with something ā¦ even temp. like ā¦
For when the next Boss changes his mind ? ? ā¦
Aw, come on, Iām usually with you on that point, but that was an awesome lead. Fire away, Ms. Cribb!
You mean Republicans work in the education department in Saudi Arabia, too?
Okay, dudeā¦ enough. The shift key on my keyboard is now a little āiffyā, and I believe thatās a direct result of, (and I am in consultation with an attorney about this), reading one of your posts while consuming a cold, carbonated beverage. Your posts need a reader advisory: āChoking/Spraying Hazard Finish all foods and beverages before readingā
Edit this textbook, you will
Used to be, school kids did a fine job of āannotatingā history books. You should have seen the state history textbook I had to use, one that had been issued a couple of decades previously. The āEverybody must wear a Hitler moustache!ā cadre had gotten to pretty much every picture in every one of those books at one point or another.
Nowadays though textbooks have gone electronic. Kids at my sonās school have a chromebook and all their texts are online. To be fair none of his classes have ever asked kids to lug their own copy around; they kept them at home and used a class set at school. They literally have no locker time between classes anyway.
I suppose electronic books can be kept up-to-date and undefaced. On the other hand, control of content is centralized and that comes with its own dangers. Luckily most of my kids teachers havenāt used textbooks all that much anyway.
