Texas officials attempt to rewrite the history texts... and inadvertantly call into disrepute the idea of public input into public education. Oh my. "Some spoke of a failure to mention the religious beliefs of the founding fathers. A busload of students from the University of Texas at Brownsville bemoaned the lack of Hispanics. One man argued that what he called the 'violent nature' of Muslims should be included." Democracy (we have learned from hard experience) must be guided by principles that prevent the tyranny of the majority... must public education obtain a similar set of principles? Would - could? - private education ever do the same?
