No, no, it's perfectly fine. Lemmy is for discudsion.

The "state law" is pretty common because all states want to be treated as a seperate country. Especially for education they all have different rules and organizations.

I came to US in highschool way past 2000s so I can't really talk about that. I had heard a lot of oil and gas companies were funding the schools around that time tho so maybe there are some articles on specific things they did I could look for later?

    It's "segregation" chapter for first graders. The change was pushed after the "anti-W.O.K.E" laws. (Yes, what they are called)

    Entire chapters were revised to not mention black people being the target. If I was a first grader I would assume "homeless" or "poor people" or even just "generally disliked people" that are being kicked out of shops and buses.

    i went to public highschool in Texas where our football coach taught finance and history due to teacher shortage.

    :D I learned that North Korea killed more people than any other countey on earth and Germans were communists during world war 2

    He is kinda special case tho. It's usually textbooks casually hiding facts like segregation.

    Florida history textbook initial edition:
Rosa Parks showed courage. One day, she rode the bus. She was told to move to a different seat because of the color of her skin. She did not. She did what she believed was right.
Second edition:
Rosa Parks showed courage. One day, she rode the bus. She was told to move to a different seat. She did not. She did what she believed was right.
