Directed by Scott Thurman, The Revisionaries, is a wonderfully made expose on the culture wars that revolve most aspects of american politics and how those political wars are resolved inside a small meeting room where the future of state textbook standards are revised by the Texas state Board of Education. Hot topics included (to no one’s surprise) evolution vs. creationism, the necessity to praise Ronald Reagan, and the switching of the word hip-hop with country music in a sentence regarding musical genres.
The Revisionaries – Dir. Scott Thurman
Although Scott Thurman (clearly on the liberal side of the debate)does not take a stance he ends the film by stating that the changes implemented by the board will affect Texas public schoolchildren until the standards are reviewed again on 2020.
