            For all this His anger is not turned away, but His hand is stretched out still.

            Not long ago an obituary appeared in the Salt Lake Tribune that said the recently departed had "died doing what he enjoyed most—watching BYU lose."

We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes. And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. Uchtdorf

                        Way to go, Texas.

                        This Fall, Texas schools will teach students that Moses played a bigger role in inspiring the Constitution than slavery did in starting the Civil War. The Lone Star State's new social studies textbooks, deliberately written to play down slavery's role in Southern history, do not threaten only Texans — they pose a danger to schoolchildren all over the country.
                        It is alarming that 150 years after the Civil War's end children are learning that slavery was, as one Texas board of education member put it in 2010, "a side issue." No serious scholar agrees. Every additional issue at play in 1861 was secondary to slavery — not the other way around.

                        By distorting history, Texas tells its students a dishonest and damaging story about the United States that prevents children from understanding the country today. Also troubling, Texas's standards look likely to affect more than just Texans: The state is the second-largest in the nation, which means books designed for its students may find their way into schools elsewhere, too.

                            I know it's a real Sophie's Choice here. Do you expose your kids to that Moses discussion, or do you go to the state that wastes tens of billions on vanity projects and where your ethnic group has a 50% higher chance of living in poverty?

                            Part of it is based on academic grounds. Among major conferences, the Pac-10 is the best academically, largely because of Stanford, Cal and UCLA. “Colorado is on a par with Oregon,” he said. “Utah isn’t even in the picture.”

                                I am not sure what the context of this is but slavery was actually, in fact, more of a secondary issue for causing the civil war. The chief issues were economic issues and states' rights. Most people believe the civil war was totally over the moral issue of slavery.

                                See, for example:

                                http://americanhistory.about.com/od/..._civil_war.htm
