Opinion: Patriotism decried as civil rights violation

Earlier this year, the elected State Board of Education passed new social studies standards that insist that children learn why America is unique and special among nations. The State Board of Education wants kids to know more about Thomas Jefferson and George Washington than just the fact that they owned slaves.

But that doesn't sit well with the Obama administration. The U.S. Department of Education is mad at Texas because Gov. Rick Perry refuses to hand over the authority to decide what Texans learn in schools to unelected bureaucrats in Washington DC. Specifically, the Texas Education Agency declined to participate in the federal government's "Race to the Top" program that required adopting federal government curriculum standards.

It's not terribly surprising, therefore, that Obama's friends at left-wing civil rights organizations such as the National Organization for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) and the League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC) are playing the race card on this. They raise money by finding racism everywhere. According to today's Houston Chronicle, these groups have filed a complaint with the civil rights division at the U.S. Department of Education alleging discrimination. This complaint gives the Obama administration opportunity to try and harrass Texas officials for insisting that our school curriculum get adopted by our elected State Board of Education, not the federal government. Hanging in the balance is whether schoolchildren in Texas public schools will learn about America's founding fathers or get force-fed the same liberal, race-baiting garbage taught as multiculturalism at most major state universities.
