Especially irking is the removal of Jefferson as a because he "founded" separation of church, replacing him with a priest and christian philosopher and state and Their "more positive" look on anticommunism.

WTF? so now we are teaching that christianity is good and communism is bad. At least that is how it seems to me. Please share your opinions on the matter

BTW: i found the links on the toribash forum and though I would share with you guys.

"History is written by the victors.


History is full of liars."

Sounds like indoctrination to me, yes.

Hopefully this will go to the courts, where these people tend to have little success.

They are not going to get very far with leaving Thomas Jefferson out of an American history book. It is like leaving Albert Einstein out of a book about the history of the theory of relativity.

It is very definitely indoctrination.

No, this is attempted alteration of history.

This is embarrassing...to say the least. We'll see how it plays out.

Screwed up, yes. Least parents can still seek refuge for their offspring through home schooling.

We already were indoctrinated. Christopher Columbus discovered the New World, wooo! Education as a whole has seem to gone down hill..........
