The Onion is either spot-on or irrelevantly raunchy. It has captured the
spirit of the latest text book standards adopted by the Texas Board of
Education brilliantly:

* Inserting paragraph clarifying that the poor guy Rosa Parks wouldn't
give up her seat for was on crutches and really needed to give his dogs a
rest; also, he later died.

* More focus on civic issues, particularly the separation of church and
infidel.

* Discussion of the debate between liberal and conservative geologists
about what constitutes an "igneous" rock.

* Tamping down traditional pro-Stalin stance.

* Expanded section on Latino contribution to American landscaping.

* Dividing number of Vietnamese civilian casualties by two due to their
small stature.

* Christopher Columbus was for lower taxes, but all that the Native
Americans he encountered wanted to do was spend, spend, spend.
