Texas Board of Education Revises Textbooks: Slaves were ‘Unpaid Interns’

“Plantation Interns” being introduced to their new fate in life!

By Chris Partridge
September 27, 2012



DALLAS — The Texas Board of Education has drawn scrutiny in recent years for its efforts to revise its curriculum to favor more conservative-friendly versions of history and science. After revising textbooks last year to emphasize Christian influences on the Founding Fathers and introduce Intelligent Design to biology classes, the Board voted nine to zero today to change official nomenclature regarding slavery. In Texas, students will now be taught that slaves were not kidnapped and exploited against their will, but were actually “unpaid interns.”

“While African workers were not compensated monetarily,” the new curriculum guidelines acknowledge, “by working outside picking cotton, they gained valuable career experience and were provided with ample networking opportunities.”

Charlie Schuster, a three-term board member from Dallas, introduced the motion. For the incredulous Schuster, the idea that the Founding Fathers were involved in a system of owning fellow humans simply was too much to believe. “Either the Founding Fathers were divinely-inspired statesmen,” said Schuster, “or they endorsed slavery. That’s a pretty glaring contradiction. So obviously slavery didn’t exist.”

“Sure, these plantation interns had it harder than today’s modern college students,” Board of Ed member Alan Wixom told Newslo. “They didn’t have coffee breaks, they couldn’t goof around on Facebook, they were frequently beaten within an inch of sweet merciful death — but they made lifelong connections and built some strong resumes in the process. Not to mention the acclaimed music they were encouraged to write!”

Schuster’s motion reportedly included several primary source documents provided by revisionist historian David Barton, which lent credibility to the Board’s interpretation of slavery. One of the documents — a diary entry supposedly written by a slave in Virginia — proudly describes the glowing letter of recommendation he was given by “the man with the bullwhip.”

But the Board’s critics were vocal in their opposition to the changes. “Look at this garbage,” said education activist Javier Narilla, reading from the new curriculum. “‘History textbooks should mention that the international slave trade was merely an early precursor to modern study abroad programs.’ This is the law now.”

Added Narilla, “I hate this state.”

Whether liberal or conservative, political and pedagogical experts agree that the implications of this decision are monumental, Texas State Senators are already considering legislation that would award slaves retroactive college credit in lieu of reparations.

if you think this is real
 
"re-education". Fortune 500 companies do not throw their interns babies to wild animals.
 
It might be satire but I bet that's how those people really think.

even now there's racist clowns who justify slavery by saying "If your ancestors weren't brought here, you wouldn't be living in the best country in the world right now." Yea, I'm sure black people hundreds of years ago were willing to go through insane suffering and torture just so 400 years later their descendants could be living in a racist country like the US :lol:

I love how texas constantly changes history and gets rid of people. It makes no sense how you can reword such a major thing of American History?

Was WW2 just a disagreement now?
 
I almost wish that this was real, if only to see the massive hole that would be ripped in texas' a-$-$ by almost everyone.

The audacity; "valuable career experience and networking opportunities"; I wish these sum-mamum-itches would... :lol:...:smh:
