Why did the conservative Texas Board of Education vote to edit Jefferson out of public school textbooks?
Cynthia Dunbar, a lawyer from Richmond who is a strict constitutionalist and thinks the nation was founded on Christian beliefs, managed to cut Thomas Jefferson from a list of figures whose writings inspired revolutions in the late 18th century and 19th century, replacing him with St. Thomas Aquinas, John Calvin and William Blackstone. (Jefferson is not well liked among conservatives on the board because he coined the term “separation between church and state.”)

Until we are not forced to include stories of other religions in our textbooks - we will CRAM God down your throat.
Want to drop the stories about what good character Amir was raised with by his Quran quoting father...we'll stop.
Funny how the stories to INCLUDE those other religions in textbooks never made the news.
