Ran across this less than surprising tidbit in the Venona article:

Controversy arose in 2009 over the Texas State Board of Education’s revision of their high school history class curricula to suggest Venona shows Senator Joseph McCarthy to have been justified in his zeal in exposing those whom he believed to be Soviet spies or communist sympathizers. Critics assert most people and organizations identified by McCarthy were not mentioned in the Venona content and that his accusations remain largely unsupported by evidence.

At least the Repubs have stopped harping that “McCarthy was right!”

I wonder why?/////
