Tea Party: Remove Slavery From Textbooks In Tennessee

The Tennessee Tea Party would like to remove mentions of slavery from school textbooks as because the believe it tarnishes the image of the Founding Fathers of America. Ana Kasparian and Ben Mankiewicz discuss on The Young Turks.

Addicting Info: Tennessee Tea Party Wants Slavery Removed From School Textbooks To Make Founding Fathers Look Good

I only have 1 comment:

Are they even aware of how ineffective this is? That’s right, they don’t care. You cannot erase the history of so many people just because it doesn’t work well with your founding father worshiping agenda and you can not lie to children. Many children in this country do not know much about history at all and this is a slap in the face to growing minds. (I have many feelings about this, none of them positive.)
