Texas is changing its social studies curriculum. Critics say it's too state-centric - KUT

Texas is changing its social studies curriculum, a move drawing criticism for being too state-centric. The proposed changes for public schools in Texas emphasize the state's unique history and culture within the broader American narrative. Critics argue this approach may lead to an insular view of history, potentially downplaying national or global contexts. The curriculum revisions will impact how millions of Texas students learn about historical events and civic principles. This initiative reflects ongoing debates about educational standards and the role of state-level control in curriculum development.
