Dear SBOE Member:
The proposed Social Studies TEKS have major problems. One is the dominance on slavery and American Indians. The other one is the leftist bias and historical revision in the following TEKS. To bring the proposed TEKS to a more acceptable state, the following needs to be done.

2. Revise the proposed TEKS as shown below.
