WOMP, WOMP: Texas Education Board Has Bad News For Hillary Clinton – By Ryan Saavedra (dailywire.com) / Sept 15 2018

The Texas State Board of Education voted on Friday to eliminate two-time failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton from the state’s history curriculum.

Board member Barbara Cargill said that work groups recommended removing Clinton, Hellen Keller, and Barry Goldwater from the curriculum, the Dallas News reported.

Removing specific figures from the education curriculum does not mean that they are prohibited from being taught, just that it is no longer mandatory to include them in teaching material.

Two of the teachers involved in making the recommendations regarding what should be cut from the curriculum told the Dallas News that students are required to learn about so many historical figures that it prevents real learning from taking place.

The group tasked with making the recommendations came up with criteria to rank historical figures so that students would only have to focus on the “essential ones.”

The Dallas News reports that the criteria “asked questions like, ‘Did the person trigger a watershed change’; ‘Was the person from an underrepresented group’; and ‘Will their impact stand the test of time?'”

The maximum possible score that a historical figure could earn was 20 points. Clinton only garnered 5 points while Keller earned 7 points.

It is worth noting that Friday’s vote was only preliminary and that changes can be made before the final vote is made in November.
