we're going to have a review of the middle school and high school textbook out coming out in 2023, the editors decided to cover this event. absolutely. the problem is how it's indeed going to be interpreted. let me also say, most textbooks if they're lucky are going to devote one full page, if not less than that to this particular episode. but it's also changed the way, i think, particularly at the college level, perhaps not at the high school level, already teach this. i tell my students at texas a&m i will never teach this period, american history, that is to say, the first peaceful of power in the united states the same way. because for the first time in american history, we did not have a peaceful transfer of power. this is really a ruptured departure from american history. >> is there anything else, top of mind, where history is taught differentfully red versus blue states? >> well, i'm going back to that
