Yup -- and what's their reason for doing this? To make the Founding Fathers not look as bad. Seriously? They can't just erase history and act like nothing happened, like we don't have inequality in this country today. They've already taken Thomas Jefferson out of the textbooks in Texas because he didn't have "Christian values".

They keep crossing the line and it is disgusting.

Can't argue with facts.
