      All these folks worried about erasing history when the Confederate statues come down will be thrilled to learn about the existence of books.

      Sadly those will be the textbooks approved by TX, meaning the real history has already been erased.

          Parents and students have been calling out the books, like the one that described enslaved Africans as immigrant workers or somesuch. So ok.
