In the second sentence Ian makes his views about the Republicans known. He made an assumption that everyone on the Board of Education is Republican. This assumption that is made by Ian is not back up by evidence. Just from common sense and probability it is improbable that the Board of Education consist one hundred percent Republicans. This is a way to make a diverse group of people seem like clones.
These clones are said to have the same kind of views according to the reporter. From the article the audience will think that every Republican hates gays, endorse white supremacy, and believe the bible is the true law of America. It is also every improbable that these people have all of the same exact views. They must differ at some degree plus the characteristics mentioned are only unpleasant qualities. So there might and most likely is some pleasant traits that Republicans posses.
In the first paragraph as well as the second Ian assumes that everyone in the Texas legislator is a Republican. With them in charge they will write history according to their morals. This is true only under the assumption that they all have the exact same morals. Ian thinks the government will raise our children according to their values they read in text books. It is quick difficult for an elected official to have the total power to raise someone else's kid.
According to the reporter the Republicans get the power to put what they want into textbooks by bribing the publishers to put in certain content. Were does the reporter get such evidence? He is using the evidence in such a way that when he states it, it makes the Republicans sound bad. The real statement should have been the government supports the publishers by paying for books that are going to be used for public education. This is a statement that is not bias.
This article clearly doesn't like Republicans and in every way Ian tries to make them look bad. Not only is the government run by Republicans but also Democrats.

This article clearly doesn't like Republicans and in every way Ian tries to make them look bad. Not only is the government run by Republicans but also Democrats. The opposing views are never mentioned in the article at all. This makes it very onesided and will cause someone with views different than the ones stated feel like that this paper is untrue and not convincing to them. On the other hand, someone with the same postion will totally agree and will not think about the other side. This kind of person will be closed minded when thinking about the article and will not take in the other side of the issued that might be significantly important.

Comment: this is the Last part of the conlusion paragrah in our essay

In the article there should have been more comments about the Democrats and their stance on the textbooks. To have a well rounded argument both sides should be thoroughly analyzed. This analysis will bring up issues that would not a have been discussed if one side was given. This article tried to make a solid point with no other facts interfering. This kind of interference would make the audience think of other aspects that might be essential to the point. To persuade someone in an argument the whole picture must be examined and not just a portion of it.
