Harry, what I learned in a history class is history is always written by the winners.
Though I think one-sided is an understatement.
Now I will say for the TSHA, they are usually unbiased. There was an explosion at a school in 1937. At least the TSHA mentioned that the bill that could have prevented the explosion had been sitting in the state legislature for 2 years.
The bill was to put an odorant in natural gas.
For more information, it was the New London School Explosion.
Side note: my granddad skipped school that day to work.
