Rewriting History: Texas Conservatives Score A Victory

[Frank]

Here's the part of the article that disturbed me the most:

The Board removed Thomas Jefferson from the Texas curriculum, "replacing him with religious right icon John Calvin."

Yes. They removed a vital figure in American History from the state curriculum.

And replaced perhaps our greatest founder (or at least in the top three) with the darth vader of Christianity (John Calvin), the brainchild of such notable movements as the puritans (and their fun little witch hunts - and of course who could forget, burning heretics at the stake ... I guess they had to have some fun). Ahh what will the hill-billies think of next?
