LETTER TO THE EDITOR:

Is Texas textbook plan a cause for sadness?

Concerning Monday’s editorial cartoon by John Branch of the San Antonio Express-News — showing a man sitting in a chair bemoaning the Texas Board of Education “rewriting history” — I was amused and saddened at the same time.

I was saddened in that, when comparing what I learned in school 40 years ago to what my children and grandchildren have been taught, much has been omitted. In my studies of American history, including Plymouth Rock and original documents, I have found that history has been rewritten and replaced with a narrative that is — to say the least — less than honest.

I have also found hope. There is more to the history of this country to unite us as a nation than there is to divide us.
