>> its part of history and needs to be taught accordingly

Nobody is suggesting otherwise. I think the real issue is that some on the TX Board want to teach the Civil War for what it was at its core -- a battle over state's rights.

Cogent arguments have been made that the Civil War would have occurred with or without slavery because there was disagreement as to the federal government's role.

This, of course, is the right-left argument most of us are still in disagreement about.
