Should Slave History Be Erased From School Textbooks???

Well if Tennessee Tea Party members get to vote they want it where school textbooks no longer reference slavery or mention the founding fathers of the country as slave owners.

Tea Party spokesmen Attorney Hal Rounds says:
"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,"

Rounds said. "The thing we need to focus on about the founders is that, given the social structure of their time, they were revolutionaries who brought liberty into a world where it hadn't existed, to everybody -- not all equally instantly -- and it was their progress that we need to look at."

The Tennessee Commercial Appeal states the group wants state laws governing school curriculum to be amended 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.”
