A secret audio recording revealed a Texas school administrator warning teachers to balance out classroom books on the Holocaust with “opposing” views.
An official with the Carroll School District in Southlake is heard on the recording, obtained by NBC News, advising educators about what books they should have on their classroom shelves after a local teacher was reprimanded for keeping an “anti-racism” book in her library.
“Make sure that if you have a book on the Holocaust that you have one that has opposing – that has other perspectives,” a voice that is purportedly Gina Peddy is heard saying to groans from teachers.
“How do you oppose the Holocaust?” one teacher responds, according to NBC News.
“Believe me – that’s come up,” replies Peddy, the school district’s director of curriculum and instruction.
The recording was made Friday during a training session said to be related to Texas’ new law that requires teachers to present differing views when studying “widely debated and currently controversial issues,” the TV station reported.

This outrage is lauded by the radical left, and encouraged by today’s Democrats. There is a huge difference between fact/truth and narrative. The former is absolute, and we might be happy with it or displeased. But our feelings about it do not change the absolute. Narratives are whatever we want them to be. And what is so alarming is that we begin to worship our thoughts, feelings, and desires as if they define the world and modify the truth. This is the narrative that renders the Palestinians legitimate partners in determining how Israel can use its land, captured in a war that Israel did not start. All becuase the palis “want” that land for a state that they will create. It renders historical fact like the Holocaust a matter of debate because these anti-Semites wish it to be untrue. Shlomo Hamelech cautions us to avoid becoming worshippers of human cognition. It is the immoral left that seeks to build a culture on narrative. Our mission is to combat that by steering our lives away from this foundation of dishonesty.
Lol!
you have it exactly backwards
This was a law passed by the radical right. That is trying to reframe American history and deny the racist underpinnings of it.
To do that they call for discussion of “both sides” on racism slavery etc
This is what you wanted
Would you prefer that democrats and the left would support this POS?
This is like a bad, real-life version of the old joke about a bachur being fahered by a perspective father-in-law, whose strategy was to reply to every statement made with “Efsher farkert?”
Just a reminder: that child in the picture with his hands raised, is alive today b”h, to authenticate the story. He is Rav Yisrael Meir Lau, former chief rabbi and father of current chief rabbi, Reb Dovid Lau.
Are you sure? There is a known picture of Rabbi Lau but i didnt think the above one is the one.

You’ve said that already.
After all when it comes to Jews we don’t care about offending their sensibilities no matter how crass it is But a fundamental error or a black person and you will pay a price for the rest of your life
