Teaching the Holocaust Outlawed in Texas!

Children are being taught to like Islam and hate Christianity, according to elected officials in Texas, who say they're hellbent on stopping it.

All but two of the Republican members of the Texas State Board of Education voted to ban world history textbooks which present Islam in a positive light…and Christianity in a negative way.

This means that Texas school kids could graduate High School without ever learning that hordes of Christian soldiers swarmed across the Middle East during the Crusades. The 100,00 Muslims massacred during the Fall of Antioch---never happened. The 8000 Rhineland Jews killed by Crusaders who did not want to wait until they got to Jerusalem to start killing---just a fiction.

Our kids will no longer be allowed to hear about Christianity’ s bloody infighting. A million Cathar deaths in France---don’t be silly! From now on, in the state of Texas, the Spanish Inquisition will be a Monty Python joke. The tens of thousands of folks burned at the stake and the hundreds of thousands tortured for not being Catholic---ha ha! Very funny. Close to a million Waldensians did not die at the hands of their fellow Christians.

English protestants never enslaved Irish Catholics. Native Americans were never forcibly converted at the point of a sword. And, of course, six million Jewish people were never systematically murdered by the predominantly Catholic Germans during World War II. That’s because Jesus said “Love thy neighbor as thyself” and Christians have always followed that rule.


“Millions of innocent men, women and children, since the introduction of Christianity, have been burnt, tortured, fined and imprisoned; yet we have not advanced one inch towards uniformity”
-The above not written by Thomas Jefferson, Notes on Virginia, 1782
