From what I understand and what I've read, it actually has to do with the fact that Jefferson was a professed Deist - and that if he wasn't a Christian then his thinking couldn't have been that important.

Yea, the Christian part is BS, but that does not bother me to much. In 100 years, I don't think that minor religion will even be around, let alone have any real power anymore.

No one is burning books here, so the truth will still be out there, it just might take a generation or so to get it back.

Yeah, I don't think you're really carrying the right tone here - there are changes besides changing "capitalism" to "free market", you realize.

The Jefferson thing is easily the biggest one, though even it is only symptomatic of something much bigger.

You know I am a big fan of Thomas Jefferson, but come on, it's public school. Half of the US won't even be in it.

Also, without question, the biggest influence in becoming the country we are today, came from John Adams. All I ever heard about him in High School, is he was the second president.

That fact is not lost because he was less liked then George Washington, and thus less talked about then him in schools.

Public schools suck. You want your kids to learn? Teach them yourself, or take them to private school. I am sure neither will be using the textbooks that come from this ratification.
