I am reminded here again of the debate (link 1, link 2) surrounding Diane Senechal's article in the TFA publication last March. These quotes also speak to the current debate surrounding the Texas School Board decision to rewrite the state's American History curriculum. In that extreme case, rewriting the textbooks effectively rewrites history in an attempt to perpetuate or replicate for the future a significantly altered version of the past but only if that curriculum is delivered along a traditional path of schooling.

Again, I am only able to see some of the quotes. About half of these are dark so I can't read them.

I read this one in college, I think I need to pull it out again so I can better follow along :)
