LUBBOCK, Texas (KLBK) - The Texas Board of Education recently voted on a number of potential changes to be made to U.S. history and social studies curriculum.

As it currently stands, teachers will not be required to teach students about certain political and public figures, such as Hillary Clinton, who was the first female presidential candidate, as well as Helen Keller, who was deaf, blind and graduated from college and later became an activist.

"We feel that the state board of education has taken a wrong vote on this issue, especially because it's saying that teachers don't have to teach very important political figures such as Hilary Clinton and Helen Keller," said Clinton Gill with the Texas State Teachers Association. "These are women that have made a historical impact not only on the United States, but also on females that are growing up. So we feel that teachers should be required to teach them as a part of the history, just like they do for their male counterparts. It's very important for young ladies to have a role model that they can look up to and learn about them all throughout their high school, middle school and elementary schooling."

The board also made decisions to keep references of "Judeo-Christian" values, as well as to reinsert Moses as a Biblical figure of influence.

Oh this is NOT the first time a person running for President was suggested to be REMOVED from books.

Houston State Rep. Alma Allen went out today to local Democratic party leaders in Houston, Dallas, San Antonio, and Austin. Allen is angry because the Republicans who control the State Board of Education (for now) do not have a standard of essential knowledge that requires students to know the name of the president of the United States.

Here is the text of the letter: Dear Fellow Texan, You turned out in record numbers in 2008 to cast your vote for change. But extremist Republicans on the State Board of Education want to undo your vote and make sure our children never hear the name Barack Obama by eliminating his name from our children’s textbooks. We only have until Wednesday to send public comments before the SBOE’s final approval of the politically charged textbooks that will be used in Texas classrooms for the next ten years. It is downright silly that a Texas public school student in 2019 could be taught that in 2008, America elected our first African American President but not be told his name.

FYI while a President is in office-we are required to discuss him. Once he is out-all bets are OFF.

IF Marvel did this.....

The gatekeepers and freaks of Twitter would be out in force going after Marvel.

Sad thing is this is what he will be known for as most of the stories with Hotspot are not in trades.

Oh well sit back and wait for the crap storm if that Green Lantern is Kyle or Simon Baz.

He been following them for ages, already knew what kim did the the previous ones, already knew what she brought to the table um... in private... still willingly dived in head first.

I know lots of people don't like Marvel's animation style (or lack thereof) but, at a minimum, Redjack has been on point with the script of this show.

A fan asks why DiDio hates Nightwing.

"The reason that I hate Nightwing is that he's getting older... The reason people like Nightwing because he aged with them. But Batman can't get older." - DiDio

DiDio is worried that one day there could be a story where Nightwing is older than Batman.

DiDio says that the problem is that as characters get older, they start to get more and more similar and DC keeps having characters fill similar roles.

.

He just vindicated every fan whose character has been crapped on at DC.

How does Nightwing make Batman old? I wold think Damian does that more than Dick.

So this explains the crap Tim's Drake generation has dealt with.

Why hire Bendis to do Young Justice when the head of DC doesn't care for that generation.

DiDio jokes that he hates Wally because he's tired of people asking why he hates Dick Grayson.

Maybe that is a HINT? Isn't those Wally questions the same reason we got Rebirth?

Marvel Rising stuff was all over Target.

Finally not letting DC have all the fun for that demographic I guess.

Kelly Kanayama: First things first: Cheryl Lynn, how does it feel to be the first black woman to ever write a Batman comic?

Cheryl Lynn Eaton: I’m racking my brains, because I know there have been other black women definitely working at DC, like Angela Robinson and Felicia Henderson…

But they haven’t written Batman comics, as far as I know.

Eaton: Wow. It’s kind of crazy to be not only the first one, but to work on a character that’s so different from me in so many ways – race, gender, class. It’s so great to be able to just go outside yourself and think about how he would approach things and how he would think about things.

Batman: Secret Files #1 will be published by DC Comics on October 31st

Guess I have to buy a Batman book....

Wonder how may copies will be set on fire or stabbed.

newest Disney Play MCU TV series is Falcon and Winter Soldier team up.

A. I can't tell if people are just making shit up now or if Disney really is going this hard out of the gate to get their streaming going.

B. MCU Falcon and WS work perfectly together and I am all for it.
