The main problem with Austin is that it's in Texas. Which means you're still subject to Texas laws and Texas schoolbooks. Some of those schoolbooks still teach that, "slaves were treated well because they were expensive property".

Which makes me think, maybe there is a business opportunity to open a private school that uses California or Massachusetts/New York text books.

Possibly, I haven't looked in a few years.

In general I don't disagree about bass-ackwards public school curriculums in TX. However, for those who are willing and able to pay for private school, that's not really an issue in Austin, especially considering how liberal it is compared to literally any other city in Texas.

So basically just screw the poor by letting them suffer through Republican pushed indoctrination and lies?

Is that particularly common/exist at all in good Austin area schools? Or are you just generalising based on some Texas schools (genuinely curious as I have no idea myself)

My understanding is that the Texas state requirements used to be borderline insane, but that they have improved over time. Skimming http://ritter.tea.state.tx.us/rules/tac/chapter113/index.htm... , I actually found much less objectionable than I expected to.
