Texas Students To Learn George Washington Was A ‘Terrorist’



Students in taxpayer-funded schools across Texas will soon be learning that George Washington was a terrorist and that Christian missionaries allegedly kidnapped Native Americans and converted them to Christianity.

Julie Pickren, a Republican member of the State Board of Education, said the lessons were included in an Ethnic Studies course for high schools.

Pickren called it a sad day for Texas.

What’s even more infuriating is that the Republicans on the State Board of Education hold a 10-5 majority. However, four Republicans joined Democrats to pass the curriculum.

She says the materials refer to our first president and Founding Father as a “terrorist leader.” American troops during the Revolutionary War were deemed to also be terrorists.

Pickren alerted her followers on social media that the course teaches that “Christian missionaries kidnapped Indian children and sent them to re-education camps to become Americans and Christians.” The lessons also allege that “Congress paid U.S. soldiers to scalp Indians.”

The State Board of Education suspended board rules to approve of the far-leftist propaganda. The public was not notified and therefore could not object.

Board member Brandon Hall also voted against what he called the “woke un-American indoctrination course.”

“This course is rotten to the core with CRT, anti-American themes, and historical fallacies,” he wrote on Facebook. “It attempts to turn students into woke activists by teaching them that land acknowledgements are an appropriate way to honor those who lived on the land in times past. Which times? Which people? How far back do we go? Supporters of this course don’t know or care. The point is indoctrination, not teaching history.”
