There is all manner of grey. Education should have as little as possible bias, slant, politics or religion in it. It should provide the known facts as best as possible, it should encourage thought, asking questions and learning how to learn, how to get to the truth of any topic. That is my thought on the matter. It should be bias free which is that is meant by the term 'liberal education.'

I agree with this. There's a middle road. Unfortunately, there's a little payback at work here. The CA approach was payback for the triumphal approach of history books up until the early sixties. And now, Texas wants to rid its books of PC.
