Gov. Greg Abbott signed into law a bill that will make it harder for students to learn the whole truth about Texas and U.S. history, writes columnist Elaine Ayala.Lynda M. Gonzalez /Dallas Morning News
It was the mid-1960s, and the schoolchildren at Roosevelt Elementary School didn’t have a proper library or a trained librarian.
The school didn’t have a cafeteria either, but that’s another story.
A classroom was converted into a makeshift library and stocked with old books. The library attendant was lovely. She teased me about how many books I checked out, warning me that in time she might not have any left to lend me.
