So, there it is. No need to discuss things with bad people, right? I'll rest my case on the point that liberals are generally not knowledgeable about sophisticated conservative arguments (it's all bigotry), think conservatives are worse people, and generally mock conservatives rather than engage in honest debate.
Let's not bring it up again, unless it's to disagree with the conclusion and provide evidence supporting that dissenting conclusion (no mocking, in other words).
Anyways, I think Texas emphasizing the conservative narrative will result in more knowledgeable students.
This is a Rand study. It's from the nineties, but, if anything, the results would be more stark today:

Even more dramatic contrasts emerge in the study's pathbreaking, cross-state comparison of achievement by students from similar families. Texas heads the class in this ranking with California dead last. Wisconsin, Montana, Iowa, Maine, North Dakota, Indiana and New Jersey cluster closely behind Texas. Louisiana, Mississippi, West Virginia, Alabama and Rhode Island perform almost as dismally as California.
