I forgot to mention that hip-hop music was removed as an example of a new social movement.
It was replaced by country music. Seriously.

On a 7-6 vote, the board decided to add causes and key organizations and individuals of the conservative resurgence of the 1980s and 1990s, including Phyllis Schafly, the Contract with America, the Heritage Foundation, the Moral Majority, and the National Rifle Association to the curriculum.
The Republican majority voted against requiring Texas textbooks and teachers to cover the Democratic late senator Edward Kennedy, the first Hispanic Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor, and leading Hispanic civil rights groups such as LULAC and MALDEF. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Thurgood Marshall, the countrys first African-American Supreme Court justice, will be taught.
Republican Don McLeroy lost a battle to remove hip-hop and insert country music in its place from a proposed set of examples of cultural movements. Republican Patricia Hardy said that while she disliked hip hop music, pretending it wasnt around was crazy. These people are multimillionaires, and believe me, there are not enough black people to buy that, she said. There are white people buying this. It has had a profound effect. Country music was added as a separate measure.
McLeroy was successful with another of his noteworthy amendments: to include documents that supported Cold War-era Sen. Joseph McCarthy and his contention that the U.S. government was infiltrated with Communists in the 1950s.
Republican board member Cynthia Dunbar unsuccessfully tried to strike the names of Scopes monkey trial attorney Clarence Darrow and Pan-Africanist Marcus Garvey from the standards. Asked by another member about her opposition to Garvey, Dunbar explained, according to the Texas Tribune: My concern is that he was born in Jamaica and was deported.
The board included a requirement for students in U.S. history classes to differentiate between legal and illegal immigration.
