Conservatives and Teaching

http://www.nytimes.com/2010/03/13/education/13texas.html

This article talks about how the conservatives on the school board of a Texas school district decided to change all of the textbooks to fit a more conservative curriculum.  They cut out everything that could be construed as a liberal curriculum.  They emphasize that the Constitution and the American Revolution was founded and based on Christian Principles and that is what the new curriculum is about.

I am against this for one reason, the textbook that they choose will probably not talk about anything except for its own biased books.  This affects education to a disturbingly large extent.  Because I know that I may be teaching students with disabilities with painfully biased textbooks.  I do not know at the present moment what I will do in the situation such as that because the school district will not be willing to buy new textbooks.

However, I could go all Erin Gruwell and buy my own books for the students.  Or just use websites and different things like that.  Then, if that is the case, I would have to make sure to not assign any homework unless I find out whether the students have computers and internet at home or not.
