The right is rewriting history.
The most ballyhooed effort is in Texas, where conservatives have pushed the state school board to rewrite guidelines, downplaying Thomas Jefferson, playing up conservatives and challenging the idea that the Founding Fathers wanted to separate church and state....
The Jamestown settlers? Socialists. Founding Father Alexander Hamilton? Liberal professors made up all that bunk about him advocating a strong central government....
This shameless historic revisionism demonstrates that their only remaining tool is deception. They've squandered the last of their integrity on this and they just don't care about the consequences.
