Tenn. Tea Party is demanding that references to slavery be removed from history books.
The material calls for lawmakers to amend state laws governing school curriculums, and for textbook selection criteria to say that “No portrayal of minority experience in the history which actually occurred shall obscure the experience or contributions of the Founding Fathers, or the majority of citizens, including those who reached positions of leadership.” Fayette County attorney Hal Rounds, the group’s lead spokesman during the news conference, said the group wants to address “an awful lot of made-up criticism about, for instance, the founders intruding on the Indians or having slaves or being hypocrites in one way or another."
More like- move on, move on nothing to see here.. is more like.
I guess they don’t want it to be know that two presidents brought their slaves to the White House back in the day. That George W. and Benjamin F. owned slaves and that Thomas J. fathered children with one of his Slaves.
No matter what these crazy Tea Baggers do, you can not erase Slavery from our history..
