The Right is Rewriting History

If you tried to make this up for a novel nobody would believe you.

Not satisfied with U.S. history, some conservatives rewrite it

The most ballyhooed effort is under way in Texas, where conservatives have pushed the state school board to rewrite guidelines, downplaying Thomas Jefferson in one high school course, playing up such conservatives as Phyllis Schlafly and the Heritage Foundation and challenging the idea that the Founding Fathers wanted to separate church and state.

Read the whole thing.

I am going to be consistent:  I deplored this sort of stuff when the Left tried to do it and I condemn it when the Right starts it.  I honestly expected better out of the Right.

This is right out of the Communist play book and long term will come back to bite the Right when people realize they have been intentionally mislead.  It all goes to Trust, once you lose it it is hard to get it back.
