While horrible, it goes along with all the other lies by commission/omission and skewed history in History texts about Native Americans, the 'founding fathers', slavery, wars against unions and organizing of the citizenry, financial and political manipulations and dirty dealing, the various wars of aggression and the false-flag excuses used to incite/justify them, various citizen revolts over time, control of the population by propaganda, the fact that the USA was never intended to be a real democracy - but a democratic sheep's costume worn by the Oligarchy-wolves and their secret government minions, the other hidden assassinations and false-flag operations, the American Empire taking over for the British one during WWII, our longstanding and growing lack of freedoms and rights, etc., et al.
Books like Zinn's A People's History of the United States is corrective, but such texts are rarely offered as supplemental reading until one is in University, usually in graduate school and only for those in a few more progressive history or political science programs by the few professors who know, care and dare to be thrown out of academia. The current history books are only good for door stops, if that.
Remember too that Texas plays a disproportional role in what gets into History textbooks [propaganda manuals].
