Absolutely remarkable…and in Texas to boot! As I have said for years, pretty soon anyone that disagrees with Washington D.C., Federal Reserve policies and rule by TBTF Wall Street criminal banks will be labeled a “terrorist.” That is where all this is headed.
From CBS Houston:
HOUSTON (CBS Houston) – The most historical instance of protesting against taxation without representation is now being taught in Texas schools as a terrorist act.
As recently as January of this year, the Texas Education Service Center Curriculum Collaborative included a lesson plan that depicted the Boston Tea Party, an event that helped ignite the American Revolution, as an act of terrorism.
“A local militia, believed to be a terrorist organization, attacked the property of private citizens today at our nation’s busiest port,” wrote the teachers in charge of organizing the curriculum about the Boston Tea Party. “Although no one was injured in the attack, a large quantity of merchandise, considered to be valuable to its owners and loathsome to the perpetrators, was destroyed. The terrorists, dressed in disguise and apparently intoxicated, were able to escape into the night with the help of local citizens who harbor these fugitives and conceal their identities from the authorities.
1984 has arrived folks.

The lunatics are running the asylum, this must be clear to everyone by now?
yes, i live in Houston and I believe it. Houston is gone as being “Texas”. the liberals got the numbers in the vote 10 years ago and run the city as they see fit.
only thing keeping Houston from turning into Austin east is the oil business and ship channel, the city knows it needs those tax dollars.
i’ve faced the truth, there are only pockets of America that would still identify with the Reagan America, we already are a european socialist country; it will just take time for the country to figure it out.
great site btw, i check it regularly.
I think it’s a great lesson on how history is written. If the War for Independence had failed, our history books would have thrown the Boston Tea Party in the “Guy Fawkes” bin.
Menachem Begin was a member of the extremist Irgun, which blew up the King David Hotel in 1946. Then he became a Prime Minister and fought “terrorism”.
What do you think Southern history books would say about Lincoln if the South had successfully seceded?
A great exercise, and probably taken out of context for the sensationalistic opportunity.
Mike,
I would be curious to see your response to the following comment posted by goodrich4bk on zerohedge. I’ve only included an exercpt as I assume you can find the entire comment.
“Anybody bothering to read the actual story will understand the following:
1. The “lesson” being taught was not that the Boston Tea Party was a terrorist act and that the British government was benign. To the ocntrary, the lesson challenged the students to view the Boston Tea Party AS IF the government’s definition of terrorism applied. When presented this way, most thinking people begin to question government propaganda, not swallow it.
…
In short, what better lesson to get people questioning the role of government than to point out that our revolution was a local effort by self-interested individuals to protect their families’ livelihood from the decisions of a distand government?”
