You seem to "know" of leftists, with a decided dose of unreality that can only come from hearing of them second hand.

No. I was a leftist for a time at a liberal California college. Most of my friends are leftists and most of the people I work with are liberals (I'm a teacher). I think I know liberals inside-out. (My parents are very conservative and I'm an officer in the Army Reserve, in which there are a lot of conservatives.)
I was just reacting to the post. I just wanted to give a dissenting view. Basically, ideological people want the curriculum to tilt in their direction. Nothing the conservatives in Texas want is historically inaccurate- it's a matter of emphasis.
I disagree with liberals, but that's usually because we don't share premises. Sometimes, it's a lack of information, but not usually; information is cheap nowadays.
