The Texas state education board recently has considered draft legislation that would create the nation's first-ever statewide K-12 required reading list for public schools. Inevitably, Jewish sourced material is prominent among the texts on the list, including Elie Wiesel's holocaust memoir "Night" and Anne Frank's Diary. It appears that the legislation will be approved and, if it is, each of the selected works would become mandatory reading for Texas's 5.5 million schoolchildren as soon as the 2030-31 school year.

Texas already has a so-called Holocaust Remembrance Week education mandate which has contributed to the process, meaning that Jews are one of the few non-Hispanic ethnic groups whose stories are likely to be well represented on the state's reading list. It also has a board labeled the Texas Holocaust, Genocide, and Antisemitism Advisory Commission, which was involved in the discussions. The Jewish titles were also selected with additional input from Houston's holocaust museum experts, local rabbis and Jewish day school administrators in the state. One should note that everyone involved would likely be dedicated to promoting the state of Israel and of the Zionist movement.

The problem with the material selected for the schools is that it reflects the standard holocaust and antisemitism narrative that now prevails in America and the anglophone world as well as in much of Europe. This has largely come about through deliberate Jewish seeking to dominate both the news and entertainment industries to achieve that goal, witness declarations by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu concerning an "8th War" to sway US opinion and by recent media purchases by the likes of arch Zionist billionaire Larry Ellison. It is a political contrivance intended to support Jewish nationalism and supremacy otherwise referred to as Zionism and much of it is easily demonstrable as false.

No one should deny that many Jews died as a result of the political convulsion that accompanied the Second World War but the scale and methodology of Jewish suffering as distinct from the many others who died in the war has been deliberately inflated both in terms of numbers and of details. A former Israeli government minister Shulamit Aloni, describing how the charge of "antisemitism" in particular has been exploited to her country's benefit, claimed at one point that labeling any and all critics of Israel as "antisemites" in a discussion with foreigners was a deliberate way to intimidate and shift perceptions. She said "It is a trick. We always use."
