Probably the best outcome for the school board issue is that the law the school boards depend on to make their case will expire in a few months anyway. You will not get it passed again with a split Assembly, so by the time it goes through the courts, it will be moot.
From contemporary reporting, it seemed to be an attempt to "countergenocide" - meaning that by remembering the Aztecs, you are turning back the clock as best you can on their genocide. Who will countergenocide the Aztecs' victims, no one can say. Also lost is that the author that inspired the curriculum uses "countergenocide" in a very unique way. Most of the world uses it to refer to things like the Rwandan genocide, which is genocide in retaliation of genocide. And then the authors act cute because they were
misunderstood.
That Snopes article is so bad because it quotes the author saying that mass human sacrifice in Aztec cultures is a myth. That belief is really common in Mesoamerica social justice contexts. Every time I try to watch a lecture on the Maya, I'm confronted with people in the audience getting upset with the archaeologists for showing them what they found. It's the opposite of we wuz kangz. We wuz just astrologerz.

The people writing the curriculum were malicious
and dumb. We can hold both these truths at the same time.
