Yet another reason never to vote Republican, from the 2012 Texas Republican Party Platform:
"We believe the current teaching of a multicultural curriculum is divisive. We favor strengthening our common American identity and loyalty instead of political correctness that nurtures alienation among racial and ethnic groups."
Kind of like when I was teaching 6th grade social studies and the SBOE was changing the TEKS to include teaching the advantages and disadvantages of multiculturalism in the curriculum. Only I couldn't think of any disadvantages unless you are a racist. And Texas kids today really engage when you spend all your time teaching them about dead white guys...not.
