Texas Education Agency lashes out at Fox for 'highly inaccurate' reports
06:46 PM CST on Wednesday, March 10, 2010
AUSTIN — The Texas Education Agency lashed out Wednesday at the Fox Network for "highly inaccurate" reports about the State Board of Education and its work on social studies curriculum standards.
The TEA, in a news release, cited a half dozen errors in a March 10 broadcast of Fox & Friends, such as Texas proposing only to teach U.S. history from 1877 to the present.
The TEA said U.S. history "has and always will" be taught from beginning to the present. Early history is covered in the eighth grade, and the period 1877 to the present typically is presented in the 11th grade.
It also chided Fox for reporting the board had removed George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Christmas, Independence Day and Veterans Day from textbooks. Those haven’t been removed, and the board will not adopt history textbooks for a couple of years.
A Fox representative said it would addresse the issue today.
