[A Texas] school administrator…has told teachers to give equal time to Holocaust education and Holocaust deniers[.]
Yes, it’s true. During a training session on what books teachers can have in their classroom libraries, Gina Peddy, the executive director of curriculum and instruction for the Carroll Independent School District, said that Texas law requires educators to present multiple perspectives when discussing “widely debated and current controversial” issues.
