Why? Is someone denying there was not one?

What kind of small minded selfish fear propels educators to limit their students? The same kind of fear that limits voting rights, liberty and self determined agency.

This is not specific to Texas or this district. This is a nationwide issue. This is a problem of lack of education in Jewish identity as well.

What can be done about these laws? Why aren’t they being challenged in court? There seems to be very little conversation about the laws themselves, bill 3979 and sb3. They’re terrifying and dangerous. If one state can get away with this, more will swiftly follow.

There is no opposing unless your neo nazi. 6 milllion dead and what’s their reason?

Can question everything except the Amal hats 🎩 lol the truth will come out eventually as they are imposters

😲

So wrong as there’s only one view-set of events according to history and anything else leads to denial of that history. HolocaustEducation TX history

Texas and Florida always ruin stuff

It should just be an administrator under fire!

Alternative history?

Parents need to.take control of what your kids face for 9 months of the year! Your paying for it, so take control. There are woke parents all over the country, join the crowd. Don't be lazy! Google Loudoun County for the truth!

Could someone please teach the director of instruction and curriculum, Ms. Peddy, that there is no alternative view to the murder of over 6,000,000 people, mostly Jews.

More truth disintegrating.

Beautifully misleading tweet. The article that you published is Not in agreement with your emotion tugging tweet.

and. if you offer opposing views on God, it is ok. but if you offer opposing views on anything pertaining to THEM, it is blasphemous. Are THEY God?

Why not? Where is freedom of speech now?

Well there is the Nazi view that maybe GregAbbott_TX supports?

How about the whole state?

Insanity

I'm saying, give Texas back to Mexico.

Did they have to teach alternatives to the law of gravity too?

What would be a opposing view Hitler killed all Jews?

Texas is one of the most racist states. They don't want minorities to vote and now want to teach holocaust denying. There is only one true way to teach about the murder of 6 million people, the other way is anti semitic and used by racists.

There is no such thing as an opposing view of the Holocaust.

This is the fault of the Texas legislature, not the school. This is where opposition to teaching about racism gets you.

How is this anything but revisionist history writing?

This is what alternative facts era has wrought

Texas really has turned into a shit show, hasn't it?

The Holocaust is not an opinion: There is nothing to have an opposing view about. It is fact. It happened.

Only in The Lone Star state. :)

Sorry! Teaching LIES isn’t teaching! Sorry if you are descendants of awful people, who committed enslavement or genocide, but denial don’t change crap!

We’re just so proud of our school system I could spit!🤬

White nationalism. THAT’S the only “opposing view” to the Holocaust

Lived in TX for 38 yrs. Twpdaughters went to school fro K to 12. I can say unequivocally the local School Admins are mostly insane...and the Supreme Leaders in Austin-the State School Board are more insane. You most ask them about the Gorbel like STATE TEXT BOOK COMMITTEE...WOW

Normal Finkelstein's 'Holocaust Industry' is a good look into different beliefs about the Holocaust.

The opposing view of the holocaust is repugnant and anti-American. Whoever suggested such a thing needs to resign or be fired.

That is like teaching that we all can walk on water.

Texas is an Embarrassment

Is this what Republicans want?

More proof Texas is really messed up. We don’t need to mess with Texas - they’ve done it themselves.

God, this just hurts. What an awful state.

Teach an 'opposing' view of the Holocaust? Wow. And what exactly would that be? smh

How do you teach the opposing view of murdering 6 Million people. So the Germans are just paying reparation money since the 1950's and continue to make payments to those who survived just because. Only in Texas, you get this b.s.

WTF!?!? Texas just keeps out crazying themselves!

What the serious f**k. Secede already. Please. You people, yes you people, r one bunch of messed of mother effers

I mean, at this point Texas has just become the giant toilet sinkhole shithole of the country. Would you ACTUALLY expect anything better

Which is the GOP platform, really

Only opposition is the republicans

I changed the world in science and scientists have an opposing view to my world changing science that they corroborated. That's different how?

Seems there may be more to this story, is there some law saying all sides need to be taught in history? But yeah, the only good side of the Holocaust was Hitler was stopped.

They were also instructed to provide maps because the globes were upsetting flat earthers.

So incredibly difficult to hear this.

No opposing view. Hope the administrator was fired.

Tejas, it's like a [s]-hole other country.

Reportedly? What?

I, too, oppose the Holocaust.

Holy shit. Same folks crying about CRT.

The Administrator In Question Is Being Investigated By The US Department Of Education For Exceeding Their Authority.

This might be the most dangerous education education that somebody could receive, There is no opposing side it happened and it killed a lot of people

Welcome Elon Musk.

This sounds like fake news. He was a school admin explaining a policy that insists on providing both sides, when he was hit with this holocaust question. Gotcha journalism coaxed someone into saying something stupid is the most likely thing going on here.

I hope UNDER FIRE means they WILL FIRE said administrator!

Are they teaching flat earth theory in Texas again? Maybe litigating the idea of the earth as the center of the solar system?
